Vaccination

Vaccination is essential for your pet's health and well-being. It protects against many dangerous diseases that can cause serious health problems or even death. The most common vaccinations are against such diseases as rabies, parvovirus, canine distemper, leptospirosis, etc. A personalized vaccination programme is recommended for each pet that will be suggested by a veterinarian based on the pet’s species, age, health status, and lifestyle.

Pet vaccination: when and how it is performed?

Vaccination is one of the most important preventive measures to protect your pet from dangerous and often contagious diseases. Regular vaccinations help prevent such diseases as rabies, parvovirus, canine distemper virus, feline leukaemia, etc. This not only ensures the pet’s health, but also protects the owner and other pets in the environment.

How is vaccination performed?

Vaccination is a quick and painless procedure. The vaccine is injected subcutaneously or intramuscularly. It stimulates the pet’s immune system to form antibodies that will fight pathogens if they enter the body. Our veterinarians will ensure that the vaccination is carried out professionally, safely and in accordance with all veterinary medical standards.

A pet must be dewormed 10 days before the vaccination procedure. 

When the vaccination is necessary?

Vaccination schedule may vary depending on the type, age and health status of the pet. These are the main recommendations for dogs and cats:

• Puppies: the first vaccines are usually given at 6-8 weeks of age. Subsequent repeated vaccinations are given every 2-4 weeks until approximately 16 weeks of age.

• Adult dogs: vaccines are usually given once a year, although some may be given every 3 years, depending on the diseases against which protection is required.

• Kittens: the first vaccines are given at approx. 8 weeks of age. Kittens must also be vaccinated repeatedly every 3-4 weeks until around 16 weeks of age.

• Adult cats: as with dogs, vaccines are usually given once a year or every 3 years, depending on the type of vaccine and the pet’s lifestyle (for instance, whether the cat goes outside often).

Regular vaccinations are essential not only for your pet’s health, but also to comply with the law - some vaccines, such as rabies, are mandatory.

What documents do you need to bring when you arrive at the veterinary clinic for the procedure?

Upon arrival for the vaccination procedure, do not forget to bring the following documents:

EU passport for pet vaccination (or pet vaccination passport): this document records all vaccinations, indicating the types of vaccines, vaccination dates and validity periods.
