Vaccinations

When it comes to your pet's health, prevention is always the best medicine. 

Routine vaccinations are an essential, highly effective tool designed to shield your dog, cat or rabbit from severe, contagious, and often fatal diseases. 

Keeping your pet’s vaccine schedule up to date is one of the simplest and most impactful choices you can make to ensure they live a long, vibrant, and pain-free life by your side. 

A vaccination appointment usually takes 15 minutes and will also include a full health check, a discussion about your pet's lifestyle and needs, and the opportunity to ask for advice and answers to any questions.

We can also set up an automatic reminder, so your pet will never miss a booster.

Dogs can pick up viruses from kennels or daycare, other pets, or even just on their daily walk. 

Puppies need a full vaccination course which normally starts from 8 weeks of age and involves 2 injections 2-4 weeks apart followed by yearly boosters to stay protected. 

Standard routine vaccinations cover the following potentially fatal diseases:

- Canine Distemper

- Hepatitis (Adenovirus)

- Parvovirus

- Leptospirosis (spread through water or wildlife)  

Optional vaccines are:

- Kennel Cough (often required for kennels or doggy daycare)

- Rabies (if requiring passport/travel certificate) 

Kittens need a full vaccination course which normally starts from 9 weeks of age and involves 2 injections 3-4 weeks apart followed by yearly boosters to stay protected.

Outdoor cats are advised to have the full vaccines while for some entirely indoor cats the basic cover will be sufficient.
