9 weeks	9 weeks, 12 weeks, 15 weeks, 18 weeks then 26 or 52 weeks or 9 weeks, 13 weeks, 17 weeks then 26 or 52 weeks

This table provides examples of possible vaccination schedules for puppies and kittens where vaccines are given either every 3 or 4 weeks, as would normally be done in veterinary practice for owned pet animals. Although revaccination every 2 weeks might be used in areas of high infectious disease pressure in some geographical areas, such a protocol is not shown for simplicity of presentation.

After the 26 or 52 week booster vaccine; vaccinate with core products no more frequently than every 3 years (with the exception of feline respiratory virus vaccines for higher risk cats).
