Dogs require annual booster vaccines throughout their lives; this is to ensure maximum protection against life-threatening diseases.
We base our choice of vaccines on the lifestyle of the dog rather than age.
Annual boosters usually cover leptospirosis and kennel cough (can be given every six months).
However, distemper, parvovirus and canine hepatitis are usually needed every three years.
Therefore, a dog would need a vaccine every year to have maximum protection against diseases.
Because of yearly vaccinations, this is why our health plans are popular – they break down these costs into monthly payments.
St Clair Veterinary Group recommends that yearly boosters are obtained to ensure immunisation is up to date.

The plan also covers various preventative treatments, including flea treatments, worming treatments and anal gland expressions.
There is the option of Titre testing, which involves blood samples to determine your dog's immunity.
Unfortunately, this is not always 100% reliable, it is costly to perform and leptospirosis would still need to be vaccinated against.
