Vaccinations

 At VCT we encourage vaccination against viral diseases seen in dogs and cats in NZ. Some of these diseases are very common but can be treated effectively in many cases. Others, although less common, are very difficult and/or expensive to treat and can be killers. The vaccines we use immunize against a minimum of 3 viruses (see table below).

Additional protection is sometimes recommended where we identify certain risk factors.
