Vaccination
Puppies and kittens should have a basic immunisation programme of 2 vaccinations, 2 or 3 weeks apart. We enjoy meeting new pets before vaccination for a free “Hello” visit.
8 Weeks of Age - First puppy (kittens at 9 weeks of age) health check and immunisation.
10 Weeks of Age - Second puppy (kittens 12 weeks of age) health check and immunisation.
If a puppy or kitten is older than 8 or 9 weeks respectively, the first and second immunisations are given 2 weeks apart.
Annual boosters and health checks are recommended.
