vaccinating your pet<br />
by Scarsdale Vats<br />
Dog vaccinations<br />
Vaccinating your pet is a<br />
key step in protecting your<br />
pet against life threatening<br />
diseases.<br />
Vaccinations boost your<br />
pet’s immunity and act as<br />
the first line of defence<br />
against some very nasty<br />
and potentially fatal<br />
diseases.<br />
Puppies get protection initially in life from their mother’s<br />
milk and then as they are weaned this protection wanes<br />
and thus vaccinations are required to maintain it.<br />
Typically, we vaccinate puppies at 8, 10 and 12 weeks of<br />
age, to allow for early socialisation at 11 weeks of age.<br />
The primary puppy course acts to stimulate the body’s<br />
immune system to produce a protective response then<br />
the yearly booster afterwards maintains this immunity.<br />
Cat vaccinations<br />
Vaccinating your cat is very important for their health<br />
and for the control of infectious disease, not only for<br />
your cat but for the cat population as a whole. Kittens<br />
can typically be vaccinated from 9 and 12 weeks of<br />
age. The greater the proportion of the population that<br />
is vaccinated the lower the risk for your cat, even when<br />
they themselves are vaccinated.<br />
Rabbit vaccinations<br />
Rabbit vaccination is available against two fatal<br />
diseases – Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic<br />
Disease. Rabbits can typically be vaccinated from 7<br />
weeks of age. We strongly recommend that all pet<br />
rabbits be vaccinated on an annual basis with the<br />
combined vaccination for Myxomatosis and Viral<br />
Haemorrhagic Disease.<br />
Booster vaccination after an initial course is vital for all<br />
rabbits. Remember Scarsdale Vets always combines<br />
vaccinations with a full health assessment.<br />
We routinely vaccinate dogs, cats and rabbits against<br />
common viruses. For further information on vaccinating<br />
your pets, please visit www.scarsdalevets.com or call<br />
