Hoppers Crossing Veterinary Clinic and Hospital

Vaccinations are required to prevent a range of serious diseases in your pet. They are also a good opportunity for your pet to have a yearly health check. At the Hoppers Crossing Vet Clinic and Hospital, we vaccinate dogs and cats yearly to ensure they are fully protected.

Dog Vaccinations

The yearly dog vaccination is called the C5, and it protects your dog against parvovirus, canine hepatitis, distemper and 2 strains of canine cough. Puppies require 3 vaccinations, the first being at 6-8 weeks, second at 12-14 weeks and the third at 16-18 weeks of age, then yearly for life. Until your puppy has had all three vaccinations it should not be walked on the street or socialised with any other dogs if you don’t know their vaccination history.

Cat Vaccinations

The yearly cat vaccination is called the F3, it protects your cat against Feline Enteritis and Feline Respiratory disease complex, otherwise known as Cat Flu. In Kittens the vaccinations are given at 6-8 weeks, 12-14 weeks and 16-18 weeks of age, then every year for life. High risk kittens may also be vaccinated against Feline Leukemia and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. Speak to your vet if you would like to know if your kitten is at risk.
