What vaccinations does my pet need?

We recommend vaccination against Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis, and Canine Cough for dogs (called a C5 vaccination). Canine Cough is made up of Parainfluenza, and Bordatella ( called PI2 and BB). We recently changed to the new Oral Bordatella vaccine which has two advantages over the previous vaccine; it gives much stronger immunity to this commonly seen disease and also removes the main cause of stinging in the vaccine. Many dog owners comment on how the dog doesn’t feel the vaccine injection these days.

For cats,  we vaccinate for Feline Enteritis, Feline Herpesvirus and Feline Calicivirus (called an F3). Feline Herpesvirus and Feline Calicivirus cause the common Cat Flu. If your cat goes both inside and outside, we also recommend the Feline Aids Vaccination, or better known as FIV. Please ask one of our vets about the FIV vaccine at your next appointment!
