Vaccination is essential for all dogs. The
injections which your dog receives will protect him for a year against
certain diseases which can kill dogs. We vaccinate dogs routinely against 5
different diseases: DISTEMPER or hardpad which causes pneumonia,
gastroenteristis, and neurological problems LEPTOSPIROSIS which can cause
severe liver and kidney problems, CANINE INFECTIOUS HEPATITIS which can cause
severe liver disease, PARVOVIRUS which causes severe vomiting and diarrhoea,
often with blood loss and death, PARAINFLUENZA VIRUS which is part of the
kennel cough syndrome. Once your a puppy has received his initial course of
injections, he will be protected for 12 months. After this, he needs a single
booster injection every year to keep him protected. With our current vaccine,
a puppy can start the vaccination course at 8 weeks and have a second dose at
10 weeks old. 1 week later, it is safe to take him out for a walk. Each time
your dog is vaccinated, he will also receive a thorough health check and it
is a good time to discuss any problems or queries with the vet. We can also
protect dogs against BORDETELLA which is the main cause of Kennel Cough. This
vaccine comes as drops which are given into the dog's nose. It protects him
for about 6 months. Although a dog can catch kennel cough at any time from an
infected dog, this vaccine is most useful when given before a dog goes to a
show or into a boarding kennel when he will be at much higher risk. |
