Vaccinations

Vaccinations img
Our policy for vaccinations is that they are crucial in puppies and kittens. Because it is the first time vaccinations, they need two sets at the correct interval.
If you have just got your pet, try to bring any vaccination cards you might have already been given.
In general adult cats who have been vaccinated as kittens and then had boosters for up to three years of age do not need annual vaccinations unless going in to a cattery.
BUT they do need health checks and routine deworming and flea control. We love cats so they are not second-class citizens if they do not need annual vaccinations.
Dogs also need correctly timed vaccinations when they are puppies and young adults. Regardless of age, they need annual protection for Leptospirosis, the disease caused by bacteria in rats’ urine. Rats are everywhere and the disease is very serious causing kidney and liver failure if not diagnosed and treated early. Dogs going to creches, kennels or even highly densely populated walking areas need to be protected from Kennel Cough.
