Pet Vaccines in Sutton
Frequent immunisations for pets are essential in lowering the incidence of several dangerous infectious illnesses. Unfortunately, these illnesses are still common and can kill pets.
The protection your pet receives from vaccinations will wane over time since they do not offer lifetime immunity. Our vets advise yearly booster shots to ensure continued immunity and preserve their health. Early immunisations are very beneficial for dogs, cats, and rabbits, usually beginning as the mother's immunity starts to wane.
Pet vaccinations offer defence against a number of illnesses. Since many of the illnesses that may be prevented by vaccination are still common in the UK, pet vaccinations are an essential element of your pet's health care.
Your pet receives a thorough health examination at Maven Veterinary Practice in Surrey prior to receiving a vaccine. This is just as crucial to your pet's health and happiness as the actual immunisation.
Pet vaccinations are included in our Pet Health for Life Plans.

How Do Pet Vaccinations Work?
Safe forms of infectious pathogens, either inactivated or weakened, are found in vaccines. Your pet's immune system produces protective antibodies in response to the medication. These antibodies are produced to protect against infection when the illness is later encountered.
Your pet's recommended vaccinations are determined by their lifestyle, risk factors, and the most recent veterinary recommendations. One or two doses of a modern vaccination can provide protection against several illnesses. Because immunity is temporary, regular booster shots are required. A thorough health examination is another great chance provided by booster visits. Vaccination reminders are sent to registered pet owners by Maven Vets; make an appointment today.

- Distemper: Spread through discharge from the eyes or nose.

- Leptospirosis: Contracted from stagnant water or infected urine.

- Adult Dogs: Require annual boosters to maintain immunity.
Maven Vets also provides the following dog vaccines:
- Rabies

Kennel Cough Vaccination
If your dog is attending kennels or daycare, they’ll need a Kennel Cough vaccine. Please ensure this is done at least two weeks before boarding. The vaccine can be given orally or as a nasal spray, this provides protection against Bordetella and Parainfluenza for a year. Although the vaccine reduces the risk and severity of infection, it doesn’t provide full immunity due to the various strains of kennel cough.
Rabies Vaccination
It may be necessary to vaccinate pets against rabies well in advance of their international trip. For further information, please contact us and study the government's recommendations.
