Vaccinations

We routinely vaccinate dogs against 5 major infectious diseases. A C5 vaccination consists of protection against:

  • Parvovirus: causes haemorrhagic (bloody) diarrhoea and vomiting and can be fatal, especially in young dogs.
  • Distemper virus: causes neurological and respiratory disease - and death.
  • Adenovirus type2 (infectious hepatitis): causes liver and respiratory disease - and death.
  • Bordetella bronchiseptica: causes kennel cough which is a highly contagious cough that dogs often contract when in close contact with other dogs, for example in boarding kennels. The disease causes significant discomfort to dogs (and their owners) but is rarely serious or life-threatening.
  • Parainfluenza: a viral cause of kennel cough

Cats are vaccinated routinely with an F3 vaccination but also optionally can be given an FIV and/or Feline Leukaemia vaccination. We recommend that all cats that venture outdoors be vaccinated against FIV and Feline Leukaemia virus as these are spread via cat fights.
