Is your pet ready for the Christmas holidays? If your pet is boarding over the holiday period and isn’t up to date with their vaccinations now is the time to get things in order.

Most boarding facilities require cats to have a minimum of a F3 vaccination and dogs a C5 vaccination but it’s best to check with the facility your pet is booked in with now – before it’s too late!

Vaccinating your pet is one of the most important things you can do to ensure they lead a healthy life.

Our top reasons for vaccinating are as follows:

• Vaccinations protect against preventable diseases.
• Vaccinations are substantially less expensive and less traumatic than the cost of treatment for the diseases they protect against.
• Vaccinations protect your pet from transmissible diseases in boarding facilities, at parks and even when they visit Pet Doctors (if your pet has to be hospitalised for any illness, their immune system may already be compromised so you want to make sure they are protected, otherwise they may have to stay in isolation).

Your pet’s health, lifestyle and where you live may affect which vaccinations are necessary and we will determine the most appropriate vaccination program for your pet.

If you have any questions about vaccinations please ask a Pet Doctor’s team member for the most up to date information. We are more than happy to discuss what your pet needs and why, so call us on 5576 0400 today
