Dog Vaccinations

Why Vaccinate Your Dog or Puppy?

Vaccinating your dog or puppy is one of the best ways to keep them safe and healthy. Even if they’re mostly indoors, they can still be exposed to harmful viruses that come in on your shoes, clothes, or through open windows. And places like parks or shared water bowls can be hotspots for germs. By vaccinating your dog, you’re giving them the protection they need to stay safe and healthy, while also helping to prevent the spread of illness to others.

What We Vaccinate Against

At Vet Hub Ringwood, we vaccinate your dog against:

Puppy Vaccination Protocol

Our recommended vaccination schedule ensures that your puppy receives the best protection at each stage of its development.

Initial Course (Puppies)

First booster

6–8 weeks

Second booster

10–12 weeks

Third booster

16 weeks

First Annual Vaccination

12 months after the final booster.

Dog Vaccinations Schedule

As your puppy grows, it is important to stay on top of their booster vaccinations to ensure they maintain a strong immune system. At Vet Hub Ringwood, we follow a triennial vaccination schedule. This means your dog will receive the full C5 vaccination every three years, with an annual Kennel Cough booster in the years between to ensure they remain fully protected.

Ongoing Vaccinations

Sending Your Puppy to Boarding or Daycare?

If you plan to send your puppy to daycare, boarding, puppy school, or grooming, ensure they are up-to-date on their vaccinations. Many places won’t accept pets without the proper vaccinations, so it’s always best to double-check before booking.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having gone to a different vet for the first year of my puppy's life and had terrible experiences, I was over the moon with how the staff at VetHub have treated my dog Pepper. Doctor Stuart and the rest of the staff care deeply about every animal that comes through the door.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today I took my two pups, Mishka and Baran, to the clinic. The staff were very friendly, especially Bridget, the nurse at reception, who made our experience warm and welcoming. The doctor examined the puppies very patiently and gave helpful advice. The clinic was clean and felt very professional, and it was easy to access, with convenient parking. I highly recommend this place, they really take great care of both pets and their owners.

FAQs

Does my dog need to be vaccinated?

Yes, vaccinations are essential for your dog’s health. They protect your pet from serious and sometimes fatal diseases, such as parvovirus and distemper. Vaccinations safeguard your dog and also help reduce the spread of diseases in the wider pet community.

What to expect post-vaccinations?

After your dog’s vaccinations, it’s common for them to feel a little tired or lethargic for 24 to 48 hours. This is completely normal as their body builds immunity. You may also notice slight swelling or discomfort at the injection site. If these symptoms persist or if your dog appears unwell, it’s best to contact your vet. Otherwise, they should be back to their energetic self shortly!

When can I take my puppy on its first walk?

You can take your puppy on their first walk about a week after their 12-week vaccination. By this time, they should have sufficient protection from diseases, allowing them to explore the world and meet other dogs safely. Always keep an eye on them during the walk to ensure they are comfortable and safe.

What if my dog is late on vaccinations?

If your dog is behind on vaccinations, don’t worry, just speak with our team about getting them back on track. In some cases, we may recommend restarting the vaccination schedule or administering a booster to catch up. It’s crucial to keep your dog’s vaccinations up to date to ensure they are protected from preventable diseases.

When can my puppy start puppy school?

Most puppy schools are happy to accept puppies from nine weeks old, as long as they’ve had their first vaccination and passed a health check. It’s a great way to socialise and start their training early!

Does my dog need a check-up before vaccination?

Yes, your dog should undergo a full health check before receiving vaccinations. This ensures they’re in good health, as certain underlying conditions could become more problematic if vaccinated without proper assessment.
