Puppies are vaccinated from 8 weeks of age, with a second injection at 10 weeks. Your pup will then be fully protected and able to go out at 12 weeks old.

Kittens can have their first injection from 9 weeks with a second injection 3 weeks later.

Rabbits can be vaccinated at 9 weeks.

Booster vaccinations
All animals should have an annual booster vaccination. Reminder cards are routinely sent out at the correct time.

Neutering of all pets is recommended to reduce unwanted litters and for a number of health benefits.

Cats of both sexes should be neutered at about 6 months of age.

Male dogs can be castrated at any age from 6 months.

Female dogs can be spayed either before their first season (usually 6 to 7 months of age) or at 3 to 4 months after a season at any age.

Rabbits of either sex can be neutered at 4 to 5 months or older.

Male guinea pigs and rats can be castrated so that multi-animal groups can live together, rather than be housed separately.
