1000 Paws Walk is just around the corner and we can't wait to see you and your fur-kids there!

Just a reminder to please check your pet's Vaccinations are up to date before the event. We are highly recommending you have your pets vaccinated again Kennel Cough if they haven't been done already.

The kennel cough (Bordetella) vaccine helps protect agains a highly contagious canine respiratory disease. It significantly reduces the severity of the illness and the painful dry cough they get. It is particularly important for high risk older dogs.

Vaccinating your dog lowers the transmission rate, protecting other dogs in the local area that cannot be vaccinated or are immune compromised.

The vaccine comes in intranasal (nose drops), and injectable forms. Annual boosters are recommended for social dogs.

Call us to ensure your dog's vaccines and kennel cough vaccines are up to date

Have you checked your pet's vaccination status lately?🤔

Making sure your pet's vaccination status is crucial to protect them against deadly diseases.

Essential dog core vaccines include Parvovirus, Hepatitis, and Distemper.
Essential core cat vaccines are often called the "three-in-one" shot. It protects against: Feline Herpesvirus (causes respiratory infections); Feline Calicivirus (causes oral and respiratory issues), and Feline Panleukopenia (a highly contagious virus that can be fatal)

We recommend that cats and dogs be vaccinated against rabies annually in the Midlands area.

Call us Midlands Veterinary Hospital to check your pet is up to date on their vaccinations- especially RABIES! ☎️033 330 6184
