Dogs are vaccinated against distemper, parvo virus, hepatitis, leptospirosis and one of the kennel cough viruses.  A complete course of vaccination is essential to provide protection in puppies and dogs being vaccinated for the first time.  We begin our vaccination courses at eight weeks of age with a second vaccine given at ten weeks of age.  The puppy is then fully protected two weeks after the second injection.

In adult dogs yearly vaccination is necessary to maintain immunity.

Cats are vaccinated routinely against two cat flu viruses and feline enteritis.   In addition we recommend that you have your cat protected against feline leukaemia.   Feline leukaemia is a viral disease of cats spread primarily  by intimate contact such as grooming or through an infected mother to her kittens. Catfights have also been implicated.  Once a cat is infected, the virus is usually fatal.  We strongly urge you to vaccinate your cat against feline leukaemia.

An initial cat vaccination course is given at nine and twelve weeks of age, with an annual booster to maintain immunity.
