Safeguarding Your Pet’s Health
Protecting your pet from preventable diseases is a key responsibility of pet ownership. Vaccinations play a vital role in keeping your pet healthy and free from dangerous infections. At Centenary Vet & Hospital Group, we offer tailored vaccination schedules designed to meet your pet’s specific needs, lifestyle, and environment. Whether it’s core vaccines or those recommended for local conditions, our goal is to ensure your pet remains safe and healthy throughout their life.


Why Are Pet Vaccinations Important?
Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect your pet from serious and sometimes life-threatening diseases. Common illnesses like parvovirus, distemper, and feline leukemia can be devastating, but they are preventable through proper vaccination. Vaccines work by stimulating your pet’s immune system to recognize and fight off these diseases if they are exposed in the future. Regular vaccinations not only protect your pet but also help control the spread of contagious diseases within the community.
For families, this means peace of mind. You can rest assured knowing that your pet is receiving the best possible care and that any potential health problems are caught early. Preventative care is not only better for your pet’s health but also more cost-effective in the long run, as it helps you avoid expensive emergency treatments.

Core vs. Non-Core Vaccines
Core Vaccines: These are essential for all pets and protect against widespread and severe diseases. For dogs, this includes distemper, parvovirus, and canine hepatitis. For cats, core vaccines include feline panleukopenia, calicivirus, and herpesvirus.
Non-Core Vaccines: These are recommended based on your pet’s lifestyle and environment. For example, dogs who frequent parks may benefit from a leptospirosis vaccine.

What Are The Different Types of Pet Vaccinations?
At Centenary Vet & Hospital Group, we understand that keeping your pet up-to-date with vaccinations is a crucial part of responsible pet ownership. Our compassionate team is here to provide expert care throughout the vaccination process, ensuring your pet’s safety and well-being every step of the way.
01
Puppy and Kitten Vaccinations
Young pets are particularly vulnerable to diseases, which is why we recommend starting their vaccination series early. Puppies and kittens should begin their vaccines at 6-8 weeks of age, followed by boosters every few weeks until they are around 16 weeks old. This schedule ensures they develop strong, lasting immunity as they grow.
02
Adult and Senior Pet Vaccinations
For adult pets, we continue with regular booster shots based on their vaccination history and risk factors. Senior pets may have specific health considerations, and our vets will tailor their vaccination schedule accordingly.
03
Tailored Vaccination Plans
No two pets are the same, which is why we create personalised vaccination plans based on factors such as your pet’s age, breed, and lifestyle. Whether your pet spends most of their time indoors or is regularly exposed to other animals, we’ll recommend the appropriate vaccines to keep them protected.

Amazing people and service. My rescue dog is quite timid with new people and places but she happily goes in and takes all the attention she can get here.

Just the best vets. Dr Georgia is amazing and is so good with my 2 fur babies. She is caring and has such a great way of dealing with the 2 of them. I would not take my 2 to any other vet
