Vaccination

We offer a choice of vaccinations to suit the individual requirements of owners and their pets:

Puppies

Require two vaccinations usually given at 8 and 10 weeks of age. They are not fully protected until 10 days after the 2nd vaccination so they should not walk on any public areas such as parks and roads and must not socialise with unvaccinated dogs. They can play with dogs that you know to be fit and healthy and are fully vaccinated.

Adult dogs

Require annual boosters which are tailored specifically to the requirements of each individual animal. Alternatively a blood test can be taken to see how well protected your pet is and to see which booster is required but this can quadruple the cost of your annual booster and it is not something we would do routinely.

Kittens/cats

Vaccinated against feline enteritis, calicivirus, rhinotracheitis, chlamydia and feline leukaemia. The primary course consists of two sets of injections usually given at 9 and 12 weeks old. Adult cats require annual boosters.

Rabbits

Require vaccination against myxomatosis and viral haemorrhagic disease (VHD). These vaccines are given from 6 weeks old and have two weeks between them. Annual boosters are necessary.  We recommend 6 monthly myxomatosis vaccines in high risk areas.
