Regular vaccination is vital to protect your pet against many important infectious diseases. Here are some points for you to consider:
A puppy should receive the initial vaccination from 8 weeks of age.
A primary course of vaccinations involves 2 injections, a minimum of 2 weeks apart, giving your pet immunity for the first year of life.
Immunity to infectious diseases is not indefinite, and will gradually fall leaving your pet at risk. Regular annual booster vaccinations are vital to maintain your pet’s immunity and to protect against diseases.
GOOLD’s Vet Clinic will provide you with a record of vaccination, confirming the vaccination and immunization given to your dog, and the dates that the next booster is due.
Prevention is particularly important since these diseases are often difficult to treat successfully and may result in recurrent long term illness or even the death of a pet.
In addition, dogs can be vaccinated against Kennel Cough. This vaccine is especially important for those dogs attending regular shows or going into boarding kennels, and any of the brachycephalic or short-nosed breeds for whom respiratory disease can be especially debilitating.
