Vaccinating your dog

Vaccinations are important for your dog’s longterm health and happiness and will protect them against a range of preventable diseases. The vaccinations we recommend are highly effective and proven to be very safe.

We vaccinate against:

  • Parvovirus, distemper and hepatitis, covered in the C3 vaccination.
  • Parainfluenza virus and bordatella, covered in the kennel cough vaccination.

What we vaccinate against

Parvovirus – is a common but highly contagious viral gastroenteritis. Symptoms are depression, loss of appetite, severe vomiting and diarrhoea containing blood. Death can occur very quickly.

Distemper – is uncommon but highly contagious. Symptoms are conjunctivitis, nasal discharge, convulsive seizures and spinal cord damage. Treatment is often ineffective.

Hepatitis – can cause sudden death in puppies. Symptoms in adult dogs are weakness, fever, diarrhoea, loss of appetite and bleeding.

Canine cough – is a common but complex bacterial and viral disease. Symptoms are a persistent hacking cough which can be devastating in both puppies and older dogs.
