Vaccinations for Dogs & Cats Blackburn South

Our team of experienced Veterinarians provide vaccines for dogs, cats & rabbits in Blackburn South and surrounding areas.  

We highly recommend vaccinating all pet cats, dogs, and rabbits against preventable infectious diseases at Elgar Road Vet. Like humans, our furry companions are prone to viral and bacterial diseases, which can lead to severe illnesses or even death. This is why we advocate starting protection against potential threats early, during their kitten and puppy stages, and continuing to supplement with immunisation boosters as they age. 

Vaccinating your pet is crucial to keeping them healthy and safeguarded from infectious diseases. Here are some advantages of vaccinating your pet: 

  

• Prevents serious illnesses: Immunising your pet is one of the most important ways to protect them from life-threatening illnesses. By vaccinating your pet, you can help prevent diseases such as rabies, parvovirus, distemper, and more. 
• Saves money on vet bills: Vaccinating your pet can help you save money on expensive vet bills by preventing them from getting sick. Treating a serious illness can be costly, but prevention is more affordable. 
• Helps protect other animals: Vaccinating your pet helps not only to protect them but also to prevent the spread of disease to other animals, especially in areas such as dog parks or boarding facilities, where many pets may come into contact with each other. 
• Required by law: There are cases where vaccinating your pet may be a legal obligation. Refraining from vaccinating your pet may result in fines or other consequences. 
• Long-term protection: Vaccinating your pet is important in providing long-term protection against infectious diseases. By maintaining your pet's vaccination schedule, you are helping to ensure their ongoing health and wellbeing. 

At Elgar Road Vet, our team of experienced veterinarians and dynamic veterinary nurses are committed to developing an individualised vaccination plan that delivers safe and effective protection for your pet. We tailor our vaccination protocols to meet your pet's specific needs and lifestyle, ensuring that they receive the highest level of protection possible. 

It's essential to note that pet and animal vaccinations are regulated differently in each state. According to the Australian Veterinary Association, core vaccines for dogs are for canine distemper virus, canine adenovirus, and canine parvovirus, while for cats they are feline parvovirus, feline calicivirus, and feline herpes virus. 

Elgar Road Vet offers yearly health checks for your pets in addition to vaccinations. These check-ups allow us to keep track of your furry friend's overall health and well-being, so we can detect any potential health issues early on. 

We understand that your furry friend is an important member of your family and we are dedicated to providing them with exceptional care. If you have any questions about vaccinations or would like to book an appointment for your pet, please do not hesitate to contact us.
