Vaccinations

Vaccinations are important to ensure your pet’s health is maintained and that they are protected from a range of viral diseases.

Our recommended vaccination protocol is as follows:

For Puppies:

• First vaccination at 6 weeks old – Nobivac DHPPI which covers Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis and Parainfluenza
• Second vaccination at 9 weeks old (or 3 weeks after 1st vaccination) – Nobivac DHPPI, Nobivac Leptospirosis and Nobivac intranasal KC (Bordetella, canine cough)
• Third Vaccination at 12 weeks old (or 3 weeks after 2nd vaccination) – Nobivac DHPPI and Nobivac Leptospirosis

For Adult Dogs:
Annual boosters of Nobivac leptospirosis and Nobivac intranasal kennel cough, as well as three yearly testing for antibodies to distemper and parvo viruses (Titre testing) .
For kittens:

• First vaccination at 6 weeks old – Nobivac Tricat which covers feline herpes virus (FHV), feline calicivirus (FCV) and feline panleucopaenia virus (FPLV)
• Second vaccination at 9 weeks old ( or 3 weeks after 2nd vaccination) – Nobivac Tricat

Yearly booster vaccinations of Nobivac Tricat or Nobivac Ducat are recommended especially for social cats or cattery visiting  cats.

The FIV vaccination (feline aids) is optional. FIV require 3 vaccinations 3 weeks apart from each other, then a booster vaccination annually.

Rabbits
Calici virus vaccine is recommended, as the disease is always fatal if your rabbit is unprotected. Vaccination is yearly (after 12 weeks of age) for the first 3-4 years and then once every 3 years or so.
