Pet vaccinations hints and tips
It's important to make sure that your pet is up to date with its vaccinations.
Baby pets are cute, but it's important to be aware that kittens and puppies can contaminate their environments from just three weeks of age. Vaccinations are a part of keeping your pet healthy as they protect your pet against common diseases that may be difficult or expensive to cure.
Animals do gain some immunity from their mothers, but surprisingly, most kittens and puppies are born with roundworm or contract it via their mothers' milk so it's important to register pets with a vet as soon as possible to ensure the correct care and vaccinations can be advised.
A puppy/kitten shouldn't come into contact with other dogs and cats until it has had all its vaccinations, so that it doesn't get an infection. If you do need to take it out before then make sure you carry it in your arms.
Always keep hold of your pet's vaccinations certificates as you'll need them if you take your pet to boarding kennels/catteries, training classes or abroad.
