What vaccinations does my new puppy need?
Last updated on March 11, 2014
Vaccinations for your new puppy are extremely important, as the diseases against which they protect can be be serious and even fatal if contracted.
Parvo is extremely common and extremely deadly to young pups.
Puppies can be vaccinated against a variety of diseases, including parvo virus, distemper, hepatitis, kennel cough and leptospirosis (lepto).
There are different levels of vaccination but for maximum protection we reccomend being vaccinated against all six diseases (a C6 vaccination.)
The typical vaccination schedule is a course of three injections.
First vaccination is at 6-8 Weeks: C3 Vaccination
10-12 Weeks: C6 Vaccination
14-16 Weeks: C6 Vaccination
This course is then followed by annual boosters.
A annual heartworm injection can be given at the last puppy vaccination and at the annual boosters.

What is the best age to have my animal desexed?
Last updated on March 11, 2014
We can and do desex cats and dogs as young as 8 weeks of age. However in most cases there is no great rush and we reccomend desexing your pet between 4 – 6 months, just after completing its primary vaccination course. Cats can come on heat as young as 4 months of age so best not to delay it much longer to minimise “accidents”.

Cane toads are very toxic and can be very damaging to your pet. The best thing to do is to immediately wash the dog’s mouth out with lots of water. Pointing the hose forward so as not to wash more toxin down the dog’s mouth (or drown it!) and
contact us immediately. Our emergency number is 0407 391 543.
I have just got an adult cat or dog, and I am not sure if it has been vaccinated. What should I do?
Last updated on March 11, 2014
Vaccinations for adult pets is still very important, and compulsory if you want to put them in a boarding kennels/cattery at anytime.
If your unsure if your pet is vaccinated, it would be best to get it vaccinated again to be sure. Having an extra vaccinations wont do you pet any harm but not being vaccinated is very risky.
