About

Vaccinations are a crucial aspect of responsible pet care, safeguarding your cat or dog from a range of potentially life-threatening illnesses. At Village Vets, we follow expert guidelines to ensure each kitten and puppy receives the core and recommended vaccines they need to thrive.

By immunizing your pet, you not only protect their individual health but also help prevent the spread of contagious diseases within the pet community. For kittens, we recommend vaccines against Cat Flu (feline herpes virus and feline calicivirus), Cat Enteritis (feline panleukopaenia), and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV).

These vaccines can be given from around five weeks of age. Typically, three doses are administered three to four weeks apart, followed by booster vaccines at 6 and 15 months to maintain strong immunity. For puppies, we advise immunization against canine distemper, canine parvovirus, canine infectious hepatitis (adenovirus), parainfluenza, and leptospirosis.

We also strongly recommend the Canine Cough (kennel cough) vaccine, especially if your dog will be socializing in group settings like kennels or dog parks. Puppies usually begin their vaccination series at 6–8 weeks of age, with boosters given throughout their lives to keep immunity levels high.

One of the easiest ways to stay on top of your pet’s vaccinations is by joining our Pet Health Plan. This plan includes all routine vaccinations, ensuring that your furry friend never misses an important booster and saving you time and effort.

Our veterinary team is always happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs, adjusting the vaccination schedule based on their age, lifestyle, and any other relevant health factors. By keeping your pet’s vaccinations up to date, you’ll give them the best possible defense against harmful diseases, ensuring they can enjoy a long, healthy, and active life.

What to Expect

When you bring your kitten or puppy to Village Vets for vaccinations, you can expect a caring, supportive environment focused on their well-being. Our veterinary team will take the time to review your pet’s age, health status, and lifestyle factors, then recommend a tailored vaccination schedule that offers optimal protection. During the appointment, your pet will receive a gentle health check and their vaccine injections.

We strive to make the experience as stress-free as possible, using calm handling techniques and offering plenty of reassurance. We’ll also provide guidance on timing for booster shots and discuss any potential mild side effects to watch for at home, such as slight soreness at the injection site. If you’re enrolled in our Pet Health Plan, all routine vaccinations are included, making it easier to maintain a consistent schedule.

This approach ensures that as your pet grows, their immunity remains robust, helping them stay happy and energetic at every life stage. At Village Vets, we’re committed to supporting you and your pet every step of the way, ensuring they have the protection they need for a long and healthy life.
