Services: Vaccinations - Puppies
Puppies can be vaccinated from 6 weeks of age. They require 2 injections at least 2 weeks apart and are fully protected 1 week after the second injection which can be done at 10 weeks of age. A full booster is only required every 3 years and a basic booster for the years in between. We use a specially designed regime to fully protect your dog whilst not unnecessarily over-vaccinating. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask one of our vets.

If your dog is ever likely to go into kennels, go to training classes or meet other dogs when out and about, we would strongly recommend vaccination against Kennel Cough. This is best given at least 3 weeks before the expected risk period such as going in to kennels and lasts for 1 year. It is administered as a drop of fluid up the nose which most dogs hardly notice! We offer a discount if this is done at the same time as the normal booster.
