Canine Vaccination News
In line with current World Small Animal Veterinary Association guidelines we are updating our vaccination protocols for dogs to include Lepto 4, replacing our current regime of Lepto 2 as this is no longer being manufactured. This covers additional strains of leptospirosis.
For puppies starting their vaccinations they will need two vaccinations 28 days apart with the second injection being given at 10 weeks of age at the earliest. Puppies can go for walks in public and socialise 3 weeks after this vaccination. To allow the earliest socialisation we encourage puppies to come for their first vaccination at 6 weeks old or as soon as possible after this.
Adult dogs will be welcomed to transition at the time of their annual booster vaccinations. They will receive a second vaccination FREE OF CHARGE 28 days after the first injection to provide full immunity against the additional strains.
Please see our website for more in depth information or contact a member of our experienced clinical team if you have further questions.
