Vaccinations are important for cats and dogs as they help to protect both animals from illnesses and in some cases, death.

It is important to get your pet vaccinated regularly against the most common diseases, as not doing so could lead to serious health problems in the future.

Dogs should receive their first vaccination at 6–8 weeks of age, followed by a second vaccine at 10–12 weeks old, and then a final third vaccine at 14-16 weeks. After these initial doses, annual boosters are recommended throughout the life of your pet. For dogs, they are typically vaccinated against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus and Bordetella Bronchiseptica.  Vaccination against Leptospirosis can also be given depending on where you live.

Vaccinations for Cats are typically administered in three doses at 8 to 10 weeks old, 12 to 14 weeks old and 16 to 18 weeks old. Annual boosters are also required. Vaccines such as feline panleukopenia (FPV), feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1) and feline calicivirus (FCV) are recommended for all adult cats.
