Cat & Dog Vaccinations

How can it help?

Vaccinations are essential to ensuring an immune system is best primed to fight any disease. Along with vaccinations, a regular check-up is an essential part of keeping your pet healthy. The full health check seeks to look for anything of concern and ensure our pets are in as good a health as possible before giving their vaccination.

What conditions does it help with?

A vaccination covers specific diseases that differ between cats and dogs. See our Cat Advice and Dog Advice pages for more information.

A “nose to tail examination” includes:

• Ears, eyes and mouth, including the teeth.

• The chest will be listened to (auscultated), to detect any irregularities in the lungs or heart.

• The abdominal cavity will be palpated to feel for changes in the organs such as the liver or bladder.

• The limbs will be checked, including lymph nodes, and the joints, for any indication of arthritis.

• The skin will be checked looking for external parasites, to examine the level of hydration, and other changes.

• The entire body will be felt over and examined for irregularities or growths.

• Any particular areas of concern you have related to your pet’s health will be examined and discussed.
