Vaccination shields your pet from various life threatening illnesses and diseases such as Canine Parvo Virus and Distemper in dogs and Panleukopenia in cats. By vaccinating your pet, you assist by helping to maintain the overall health of the wider pet population by reducing the transmission of contagious diseases.
Puppies and kittens should be vaccinated from 6 weeks of age as they are most susceptible to deadly viruses. Puppies/Kittens require THREE vaccinations, three weeks apart to be fully immunised. Thereafter an annual booster vaccination.
