What are pet vaccinations?

Pet vaccinations help prepare your pet's immune system to recognise and respond to specific infectious diseases. By introducing a safe form of protection, vaccines help your pet build immunity before they come into contact with harmful viruses or bacteria.

Why do pet vaccinations matter?

Vaccinations help protect pets from serious infectious diseases, many of which can still be found in the UK today. By vaccinating your pet and keeping their boosters up to date, you can help reduce the risk of illness and support their long-term health.

What is a primary vaccination course?

A primary vaccination course is an initial set of vaccinations given to puppies and kittens (or animals with an out-of- date vaccination record or no history of previous vaccines) to build strong immunity from an early age. They are usually followed by booster vaccinations to maintain immunity throughout their life.

How much do dog, cat and rabbit vaccinations cost?

Pet vaccination costs vary depending on your pet’s species, age, and whether they need a primary vaccination course (for puppies and kittens or animals with an out-of- date vaccination record or no history of previous vaccines) or booster vaccinations (for adult pets who have undergone their primary vaccination course within the appropriate re-vaccination period).

For the most accurate pricing, search for a vet near you to view your local practice's vaccination costs and available services.

What vaccinations does my dog need?

Dogs are typically vaccinated against diseases such as distemper, parvovirus, and leptospirosis. Depending on lifestyle, your vet may also recommend contagious canine cough, also known as kennel cough and other optional vaccines (for example, if your dog attends daycare, training classes, or kennels).

We’ll create a vaccination plan that fits your dog’s age, environment and adventures.

What vaccinations does my cat need?

Cats are usually vaccinated against cat flu (feline herpesvirus and calicivirus) and feline enteritis. Some cats may also benefit from a feline leukaemia virus (FeLV) vaccination, especially those who go outdoors or live with other cats.

Our vets will tailor recommendations to your cat’s lifestyle, whether they’re indoor, outdoor, or a bit of both.

What vaccinations does my rabbit need?

Rabbits are commonly vaccinated against myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD). These illnesses can quickly become life‑threatening, and vaccination is the most effective way to keep rabbits safe — whether they live indoors or outdoors.

Our experienced team will advise on the most appropriate schedule for your rabbit and local risk.

Don’t let their protection lapse.

Serious infectious diseases, including canine parvovirus, leptospirosis, feline leukaemia virus, and myxomatosis, have not disappeared. Keeping vaccinations up to date helps maintain protection as your pet gets older.
