Our pets rely on us to help them stay happy and healthy. Maintaining the upkeep of their vaccinations is part of responsible pet parenthood, as it keeps them protected against fatal diseases. Pets are most at risk when they're unvaccinated, young, elderly and socialising.
Which pets need vaccinating?
Dogs, cats and rabbits all require primary vaccinations to protect them when they are young and most vulnerable. Make sure you get them vaccinated as early as possible. This protection allows your pet to safely make new friends and explore the world around them.
When do I need to get my pet vaccinated?
Dogs and cats require two primary vaccinations; first at eight to nine weeks old and then this is followed by another vaccination, three to four weeks later. After these vital vaccinations, your pet will only require a ‘booster’ once a year.
Vaccinating your pet is essential as it protects them against serious and life threatening diseases.
Rabbits only require one primary vaccination which can be done from five weeks old. After that, they have yearly boosters.
