Vaccination

Vaccination is important all year round to protect your dogs and cats against serious diseases. Puppies and kittens will be temporarily protected against many diseases by their maternal antibodies (in mother's milk). However, these antibodies decline in the first few months of life and this is why a series of vaccines is necessary. After their initial course of vaccinations, the immunity weakens over time and your pet can become susceptible to diseases again, therefore annual vaccination boosters are necessary to maintain good immunity against these serious diseases.

A consultation with the doctor will be performed at the time of your pets' vaccination. This includes a general check-up, physical examination and this also gives you the opportunity to discuss any concerns or ask any questions you may have about your pet.
