Dog Vaccinations

Keeping them healthy

Protecting your dog against infectious diseases with annual vaccinations.

Like us, dogs can get sick with common viruses and occasional secondary bacterial infections. To reduce the risk of disease, it is important to keep your dog up to date with vaccinations throughout their lifetime.

 

Vaccine names:
C5 – Covers Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis, Kennel cough
C3 – Covers Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis (without Kennel Cough)
C2i – Leptospirosis, Canine Cornavirus

 

Antibody Titre Testing (ATT):
After the Puppy vaccinations have been completed we do offer ATT on an annual basis to ensure antibodies are at sufficient levels to limit the need for another annual booster for that year. Please contact us to discuss the process and costs. We still recommend an annual health check for your pet(s).

WHAT WE VACCINATE AGAINST:

Canine Leptospirosis is a disease spread by rat urine, which can infect dogs through contaminated rats, surfaces or water.
