Preventative care is at the core of Project Street Vet’s outreach model and plays a critical role in keeping pets healthy and reducing future medical crises. During clinics and street outreach, we prioritize vaccines and parasite prevention that provide the greatest protection and long-term impact.
VACCINATION PROTOCOLS
Because the communities we serve may have increased exposure risk to infectious disease,
PSV takes a proactive and preventive approach to vaccination during outreach.
For canine patients, available vaccines include:
Rabies
Bordetella (typically oral)
DAPPv
DAPPv+L4
Leptospirosis
For feline patients, available vaccines include:
Rabies
FVRCP/HCP
DAPP / HCP
DAPP / HCP
May be administered as early as 4 weeks of age when clinically appropriate, particularly in high-risk environments.
For pets that have never been vaccinated, veterinarians should recommend a booster in 3–4 weeks to initiate an appropriate primary series.
For pets with a known prior vaccine history, booster timing may follow standard protocols (annual or triennial) based on age, risk assessment, and clinical judgment.
RABIES
RABIES
Administered according to state law, typically beginning at 12 weeks of age or older.
If this is the pet’s first documented rabies vaccine, a 1-year booster is recommended.
If the pet has previously been vaccinated, a 3-year booster may be appropriate in accordance with labeled guidelines and state regulations.
If vaccination history is unknown or cannot be verified, it is recommended to treat the vaccine as a first dose and administer a 1-year booster.
LEPTOSPIROSIS
LEPTOSPIROSIS
Administered according to labeled guidelines, typically starting at 12 weeks of age, with appropriate booster recommendations when initiating a primary series.
All patients are sent with a flea preventative, typically Bravecto, which offers the added benefit of extended 12-week protection. This longer duration is especially important when working with a transient population, as it helps ensure continued protection even when follow-up care may be difficult. Routine deworming is also provided, as indicated, for puppies and kittens using pyrantel. Together, these services protect individual pets while also supporting broader community and public health by reducing the spread of parasites.
