Vaccinations have revolutionised the control of infectious diseases in our pets. It’s essential that all pets are adequately vaccinated to help protect them against potentially fatal and highly contagious diseases. Vetblacktown offers vaccinations for puppies and dogs in Blacktown for almost all the infectious diseases they suffer from. The schedule for vaccinating puppy and dog varies and our veterinarian guide you for the proper timely vaccination of your pet. Some vaccinations for puppy and dog are mandatory and some are optional as per the circumstances. The optional vaccinations are usually vaccinated for your puppy or dog as per your wish.
Puppies
Puppies are ‘temporarily protected against many diseases by antibodies received through their mother’s milk. These maternal antibodies decline in the first few months of their lives. Until these maternal antibodies are reduced sufficiently, they can also neutralise vaccines. This is why a series of three vaccinations is necessary in a puppy. These are given at 6-8 weeks, 10-12 weeks and 14-16 weeks of age.
Adult Dogs
The immunity from puppy vaccination can weaken over time and your pet can again become susceptible to disease. Annual health checks and booster vaccinations, as required, will provide the best protection for the life of your pet. Our doctors guide you for the healthy life of your puppy or dog.
