Why You Should Vaccinate Your Pets

 

Vaccinating your pet is a vital step in protecting them from serious and preventable diseases. Puppies and kittens are especially vulnerable during their first six months when their immune systems are still developing. Administering their first vaccinations at six to eight weeks of age, followed by a prescribed schedule, gives them the best chance for a long and healthy life.

At Rosebery Veterinary Hospital, we understand that some pet owners may have concerns about vaccinations. Our team is always available to answer your questions and discuss your worries. We prioritise providing excellent care for your pets while giving you peace of mind about their health.
