Which Vaccinations does your pet need?

Our vets will create a vaccination plan for your pet based on their specific needs, lifestyle and living environment. Core vaccines protect your pet from common diseases, like hepatitis in dogs or cat flu in cats among others, while non-core vaccines may be recommended based on specific circumstances and risk factors. Puppies, kittens and small rabbits are at a higher risk of getting seriously ill and require vaccination to protect their health.

Why does Vaccination matter?

Vaccination protects your pet from common and harmful diseases and viruses, benefiting not only the pet but also contributing to the overall wellbeing of animals in the community. While most pets tolerate vaccinations well, some may experience minor side effects like mild fever, drowsiness, or tenderness in the injection area. 

How often should your pet be vaccinated?

Your pet’s vaccination schedule depends on their health, age and lifestyle. Typically, dogs, cats and rabbits receive initial vaccinations during their youth, followed by booster shots delivered on a regular schedule.

What does a Vaccination appointment include?

Your pet’s vaccination appointment will include a complete health check by one of our vets who will address any concerns and discuss changes in the pet’s behaviour you’ve noticed. 

How can you prepare your pet for a Vaccination?

The most important thing to get your pet ready for vaccination is to keep them calm. 

Consider enrolling your pet on our Pet Health Plan which includes vaccinations as a part of preventative care, ensuring your pet stays ahead of any potential health issues in a cost-effective way.
