Protecting Your Pet Through Vaccination

At our clinic, we customise vaccination protocols based on your pet's lifestyle, age, and risk level—whether they're a farm dog, a city cat, or a social butterfly at daycare. This personalised approach ensures your pet gets the protection they need to stay healthy long term.

Vaccines work by safely stimulating your pet's immune system to recognise and fight off specific infectious organisms. This immune 'training' means that if your pet is later exposed to the real disease, their body is ready to respond quickly and effectively.

Why Vaccination Matters—for Everyone

Vaccinating your pet isn't just about their individual health—it also protects the wider animal community. High vaccination rates reduce the risk of disease outbreaks and help safeguard animals who are too young or unwell to be vaccinated. Staying on top of your pet's vaccine schedule is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to contribute to a healthier, safer environment for all pets across New Zealand.

Know the Signs of Illness

Whilst vaccines offer excellent protection, no vaccine is 100% foolproof. That's why it's important to know the warning signs of illness—especially after known exposure to disease. Watch out for vomiting, coughing, lethargy, fever, or a sudden drop in appetite. These symptoms can indicate something serious, and a vet check is always the safest option.

Set Them Up for a Healthy Future

Vaccinated pets are not only better protected—they're also more likely to thrive. Staying up to date with your pet's vaccinations helps them grow into confident, healthy companions ready to explore the world safely—whether that's down at the dog park, on a bush walk, or curled up on the couch at home.
