The primary dog inoculations we administer cover: Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) Canine Parvovirus (CPV) Canine Adenovirus (CAV) Canine Leptospira. Canine vaccines are available the following diseases: Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) Canine Parvovirus (CPV) Canine Adenovirus (CAV) Canine Leptospira Canine parainfluenza virus (CPi) Bordetella bronchiseptica (Kennel Cough) Canine Rabies. Leptospirosis vaccination is required annually. Rabies vaccination is not required in the UK and is only needed if you wish to take your pet abroad. Kennel cough vaccinations can be administered separately or in conjunction with other dog vaccines. We recommend these vaccination if dogs are going into kennels or if they meet lots of other dogs in the park.

Puppies are particularly vulnerable to serious diseases like parvovirus and canine distemper, so it’s vital they receive their initial course of three vaccinations. The booster vaccinations dogs require are: Boosters for distemper, parvovirus and canine hepatitis every three years Boosters for leptospirosis and kennel cough every year. Older dogs still need regular booster vaccinations to protect them from potentially fatal diseases, particularly as their immune system can weaken as they get older. Your vet will be able to assess the individual needs of your pet based on their age, overall health and lifestyle to ensure they receive the right vaccinations. Annual booster vaccinations are needed throughout your dog’s life to maintain their protection from harmful disease. Some boosters are required every year, while others are needed every three years; this is because the protection they offer becomes less effective over time.
