Vaccinations are one of the easiest ways to protect your pet from diseases that can cause serious illness or even prove fatal. Whether you’ve just welcomed a new puppy, kitten or rabbit, or your pet is due a booster, we’re here to help keep them covered.
Our vets and veterinary nurses can offer expert advice, tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and age so you always know they’re getting the protection they need.
Dogs can pick up viruses from parks, kennels, daycare and other pets, even just on their daily walk. Your puppy's first vaccine course can be administered from six to eight weeks old, with a follow-up two to four weeks later, and adult dogs need regular boosters to stay protected.
We also offer a vaccine that protects against kennel cough. This is especially important if your dog spends time in kennels or attends training classes.
If you plan to travel overseas with your pet, your destination country might require a rabies vaccination. For information on travelling abroad with your pet, read our article on animal health certificates and check out the DEFRA website for up-to-date requirements.
If your dog travels abroad or stays in kennels, we can also advise on any additional protection they might need.
Your kitten's first vaccine course can be administered from nine weeks old, with a second dose three to four weeks later. This will protect your kitten against:
These vaccines are usually combined with the feline leukaemia (FeLV) vaccine. Once your kitten has received an initial vaccination course, they'll require yearly boosters. It's important to keep up with annual booster vaccines to ensure your cat stays fully protected.
Even if they don't go outside, germs can still find a way to spread. Your cat might sneak out, or uninvited cats might sneak in, so it's always better to be safe than sorry.
We also offer the rabies vaccine for cats. If you plan to travel overseas with your cat, your destination country might require this. Check our article on animal health certificates and the DEFRA website for up-to-date requirements.
The most dangerous disease for rabbits is myxomatosis, which spreads easily and is almost always fatal if the rabbit is unvaccinated. Myxomatosis vaccines can be given at around six weeks of age and should be followed by annual boosters. There's no treatment for myxomatosis, so if a rabbit catches it, your vet will put them to sleep to prevent suffering.
Myxomatosis can spread rapidly through wild rabbit populations via blood-sucking insects, and these insects can transmit the disease to domestic rabbits living in the same area. Don't take the risk – make sure your rabbit is vaccinated and protected.
We also highly recommend vaccinating your rabbit against both strains of Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (RVHD-1 & RVHD-2).
The RVHD virus can live on surfaces and everyday objects, so rabbits often catch this disease through contact with shoes, car tyres, clothing, pet food bowls, etc.
We offer both combined and single vaccines for rabbits. Please get in touch with our team if you have any questions about the best option for your rabbit.
Your appointment will usually take 15-20 minutes and will include:
We’ll also set up an automated reminder, so you never miss a booster.
