Pet Vaccinations in Campbelltown

Pet Vaccinations in Campbelltown

Protecting your pet from preventable diseases is one of the most important things you can do to help them live a long, healthy, and happy life.

At Campbelltown Veterinary Hospital, we offer personalised vaccination programs for dogs, cats, and other pets designed to suit their individual lifestyle and needs.

Vaccinations are a simple, safe, and highly effective way to safeguard your pet against serious and sometimes life-threatening illnesses.

Why Are Vaccinations So Important?

Just like in humans, vaccinations help to build your pet’s immunity, protecting them from common diseases found in the community. Many of these illnesses are highly contagious especially in social settings like parks, grooming salons, kennels, or catteries.

Vaccinations can:
Prevent serious illness
Reduce the spread of disease in the community
Avoid costly emergency treatments
Help your pet live a longer, healthier life

Dog Vaccinations

We recommend core vaccinations for all dogs, as well as additional protection based on your pet’s lifestyle and exposure risk.

Common dog vaccinations include protection against:

  • Parvovirus - a highly contagious and often fatal disease that is prevalent in the Campbelltown area
  • Distemper - a serious viral disease affecting multiple body systems
  • Hepatitis - a viral infection affecting the liver
  • Canine Cough (Kennel Cough) - an upper respiratory infection that spreads easily between dogs, especially in social settings like boarding or dog parks
  • Canine Coronavirus - a contagious viral gastrointestinal disease
  • Leptospirosis - A virus spread through the urine of rats affecting your dog's liver that has high death rates.

Most dogs will require an initial series of vaccinations as puppies, followed by regular boosters to maintain protection.

Cat Vaccinations

Vaccinations are just as important for cats — even indoor cats — as many viruses are airborne or easily transmitted.

Common cat vaccinations include protection against:

  • Feline Enteritis - a severe and often fatal viral disease
  • Feline Calicivirus - a cause of upper respiratory disease
  • Feline Herpesvirus - another key cause of respiratory infections
  • Feline chlamydia - causes severe persistent conjunctivitis
  • Feline Leukaemia - A virus that attacks the immune system
  • Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) - particularly recommended for outdoor cats who may be exposed to bites from other cats

Like dogs, kittens require a course of vaccinations, with regular boosters to maintain immunity.

How Often Does My Pet Need Vaccinating?

Vaccination schedules can vary depending on:

  • Your pet’s age
  • Their previous vaccination history
  • Their lifestyle and risk of exposure
  • The type of vaccine used

Puppies and kittens typically start their vaccinations at 6-8 weeks of age, with follow-up boosters over the next few months. Adult pets usually require annual boosters, depending on their individual plan.

Our vets will discuss the best schedule for your pet based on their needs.
