Vaccinations

Dog Core Vaccine

Core dog vaccinations require 3 primary courses at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks and again at 1 years old, then it’s only once every 3 years. We also recommend vaccinating against kennel cough (acute canine infectious tracheobronchitis), which is a single annual vaccine.

Cat Core Vaccine

Core cat vaccinations require 3 primary courses at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks and then annually.

Worming/Fleas

Prevention is better than the cure. We recommend keeping up to date with flea and worm treatment all year round. Ask us about our worming program.

"Kinderbarkin" - Our Puppy Preschool

Puppy Preschool or as we like to call it "Kinderbarkin" is for puppies aged 8 - 16 weeks old.
It's a great way to ensure your puppy's happy to come into the clinic for anxiety free visits. We offer basic training and care, socialising in a safe environment and LOTS of treats! All puppies need to have had a least one core vaccine 7 days before joining the class. We also recommend a kennel cough vaccine.

Did you know that the first 3-4 months of a puppy’s life are the most important time for socialisation? During this time, lots of critical long-term brain development happens, so it’s important to take advantage of that by exposing pups to as many new people, animals, and environments as we can.

Our Puppy Preschool classes are designed to safely introduce pups to as many new people and puppies (yes, there’s plenty of playtime) while teaching you to read your puppy’s body language for important information. We also help you train your puppy with some fundamental skills to set them up for success.

We cover loose leash walking, stay, body handling, reactivity prevention, and creating positive associations with the world.
