Why Are Pet Vaccinations Important?

Vaccinations help protect your pet against diseases that are common in Australia — some of which can be life-threatening or very difficult (and expensive) to treat.

Vaccinating your pet not only keeps them safe but also helps protect other pets in the community — especially those who are too young or unwell to be vaccinated themselves.

Dog Vaccinations

Core Dog Vaccines - C3

Recommended for all dogs, this protects against:

Canine Parvovirus - a highly contagious and often fatal gastrointestinal virus.
Canine Distemper - affects the nervous system and respiratory tract
Canine Adenovirus (Infectious Hepatitis) - affects the liver and other organs.

Kennel Cough (Canine Cough) - C5

Dogs that socialise at parks, grooming salons, boarding kennels or around other dogs should also be vaccinated against Kennel Cough (Bordetella and Parainfluenza).

Most dogs receive a C5 vaccination — covering both core diseases and Kennel Cough.

Feline Panleukopenia (Feline Parvovirus) - a severe and often fatal disease.
Feline Herpesvirus - causes cat flu
Feline Calicivirus - another cause of cat flu.

Optional: FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus)

FIV vaccinations (if recommended) require an initial course of 3 injections, followed by yearly boosters.

Is Vaccination Safe for My Pet?

Vaccinations in dogs and cats are very safe. Occasionally, pets may experience mild side effects like temporary soreness at the injection site or feeling a little quiet for a day — but serious reactions are very rare.
