Vaccination is vital in protecting your pet from various diseases that cause pain,
distress and can be fatal. Annual vaccination appointments also provide an
opportunity for regular health checks for your pet.
Vaccinations for cats and dogs usually consist of a primary course of 2
vaccinations to stimulate an immune response, followed by annual boosters as
the initial immune response gradually fades over time.
For dogs, the first vaccination can be done as early as 6 weeks, with the second
vaccination given 2-4 weeks later. Core vaccinations for dogs are distemper,
parvovirus, canine infectious hepatitis, parainfluenza and leptospirosis.
Riverside Vets also recommend vaccinating your dog against kennel cough,
which can be done at the same time as your dog's regular booster. If your dog
travels abroad with you, they are likely to require a rabies vaccination for their pet
passport - ask your vet for further information.
Cats can be vaccinated from 9 weeks of age, with a second vaccination 3-4
weeks later. Primary cat vaccinations include feline herpesvirus and calicivirus
(two agents responsible for cat flu) and feline panleukopaenia virus which causes
feline infectious enteritis.
We also recommend vaccinating your cat against the feline leukaemia virus, a
virus which suppresses the immune system and is potentially fatal. It is important
to keep your pet's vaccinations up to date, as a delay in their booster allows for a
decrease in immunity, and may mean that your pet needs to restart their primary
vaccination course.
