Vaccinations Offered
Dogs
What is rabies?
Rabies is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system and can be transmitted to humans. If contracted, rabies is typically fatal. Therefore, all dogs should be vaccinated against rabies.
Which dogs require a rabies vaccine?
All dogs over 14 weeks of age.
How often should my dog be vaccinated for rabies?
Rabies vaccines can be valid for either one or three years.
If you have a rabies certificate that proves your dog has had at least one rabies vaccine before, you can receive a three year rabies vaccine at the same cost as a one year. Rabies tags do not constitute proof of vaccination.
Please upload proof of any previous vaccinations in the online registration form. Our staff will help advise you as to what your pet needs.
What is the DHPP vaccine?
DHPP stands for Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza. The vaccination offers protection against these diseases.
The vaccination is commonly referred to as the “puppy shot” or “yearly shot”.
Which dogs require a DHPP vaccine?
All puppies and dogs.
How often should my dog receive the DHPP vaccination?
If your dog is over three years of age and has had at least two boosters of this vaccine as an adult, you can consider giving it every three years instead of yearly. Puppies should get it after the age of six weeks, once a month, until they are 16 weeks old.

What is rabies?
Rabies is a viral disease that affects the central nervous system and can be transmitted to humans. If contracted, rabies is typically fatal. Therefore, all cats should be vaccinated against rabies.
What types of rabies vaccines are there?
We only offer one year rabies vaccines, but have two options. The cheaper option is the dog/cat standard rabies which, although approved, has been known to be a cause of tumors at the injection site in some cats. Therefore we offer this approved vaccine, but recommend upgrading to the Rabies PureVax vaccination which is considered safer.

All cats should receive the rabies vaccine.

Both rabies vaccines that we offer are valid for one year.
