Vaccinations for dogs:
For dogs, their first vaccination is generally done at around eight weeks old, with the second vaccination given two to four weeks later. Boosters are recommended every year. Core vaccinations for dogs include cover against distemper, parvovirus, canine infectious hepatitis and leptospirosis. Dogs can also be vaccinated against rabies and kennel cough.

Vaccinations for cats:
Cats can generally be vaccinated from eight or nine weeks of age, with a second vaccination given three to four weeks later. Boosters are recommended every year. Core cat vaccinations include feline herpesvirus, calicivirus and feline panleukopenia virus – sometimes referred to as parvovirus – which causes feline infectious enteritis. We also recommend vaccinating most cats against the feline leukaemia virus, which suppresses the immune system and is potentially fatal.

Vaccinations for rabbits:
Rabbits need to be vaccinated against two life-threatening diseases: myxomatosis and the classic and variant strains of rabbit haemorrhagic disease. These diseases are easily transmissible and both indoor and outdoor rabbits are at risk. All rabbits should therefore receive yearly vaccinations to ensure they are protected.

Let's not forget sun protection for our pale skinned furry friends!

27th May is National Sunscreen day! Paired with the ongoing heatwave, we're highlighting the importance of safeguarding pets, such as those with white or thin coats and pink skin, from harmful UV rays. Just like us, some pets can suffer from sun damage which may one day lead to skin cancer.

Ensure your pet stays safe in the sun by limiting access to direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day. If it will be tolerated and not licked off, apply pet-safe sunscreen to exposed areas. Also, provide shady cool spots outdoors.
Let's keep our pets happy, healthy, and sun-safe! 🌞
