When your pet comes in for a vaccination appointment, we will not only administer their vaccines but also assess their overall health. This includes checking their eye health, dental health, cardiac health, and more. We will proceed with the vaccination only if we determine that your pet is in good health on that day.

If too much time has passed since your pet’s last vaccination, it may be necessary to restart their vaccine course. This means they will need to come in for two separate vaccine appointments.

If you prefer not to vaccinate annually, we can perform a yearly blood test to check if your pet is still producing antibodies for the disease. In most pets, the antibody levels will be low, meaning they will need to be re-vaccinated. However, if your pet’s antibody levels are high enough, we may be able to delay the vaccination.

There are very few side effects associated with routine vaccinations. In some cases, pets may experience mild symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, or slight swelling at the vaccination site. In rare instances, more serious reactions can occur. If this happens, we will discuss whether it’s safe to continue with routine vaccinations.
