Vaccinations

Our dog vaccination schedule (C5) includes protection against Canine Parvovirus, Distemper and Infectious Canine Hepatitis as well as the respiratory organisms – Parainfluenza virus and the contagious bacterial pathogen called Bordatella. 

Our cat vaccination schedule (F3) protects against the respiratory viruses of cat: Feline Herpes Virus, Feline Calcivirus, as well as Feline Panleukopaenia (Parvovirus of cats). This is sufficient for indoor cats and cats that are in a secure property.  The Feline leukaemia virus vaccination is added to the F3 in those cats that spend time outdoors and may have contact with other cats in the neighbourhood.

Our puppy and adult vaccination schedule is as follows:

First vaccination at 6-8 weeks of age; second vaccination at 10-12 weeks and the third vaccination at 14-16 weeks of age.  A follow up C5 vaccination is given 1 year  from the 3rd vaccination. We recommend that puppies are not allowed into public areas or areas where there are large concentrations of dogs (e.g. dog parks) until one week after their second vaccination.

Our adult vaccination protocol is Canine Parvovirus, Distemper and Infectious Canine Hepatitis triennially (every 3 years) and the respiratory components annually.

Our kitten and adult vaccination schedule is as follows:

First vaccination at 6-8 weeks, second vaccination at 12 weeks, third vaccination at 16 weeks and then we continue to vaccinate cats annually.
