There are a number of serious canine diseases that can be fatal even with treatment. It is possible to give your dog protection against these diseases by having a planned vaccination schedule.
Diseases you need to vaccinate against
Parvovirus:
Causes severe diarrhoea that requires prolonged intensive care for treatment. Can be fatal.
Distemper:
Causes eye and nasal discharge, coughing, vomiting and diarrhoea, progressing to brain involvement causing seizures. Normally fatal.
Hepatitis:
Causes vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and liver failure. Often fatal.
Canine cough (CC):
Also known as kennel cough. Canine cough is spread by close contact and airborne transmission. The components that can be vaccinated against are:
Vaccine types
C3 vaccine:
Protects against parvovirus, distemper and hepatitis. This needs to be boosted every 3 years, but we strongly recommend still getting an annual health check, especially for our older pets.
CC vaccine:
Protects against the components of canine cough. This needs to be boosted every 12 months.
C5 vaccine:
Is a combination of C3 + CC and is the minimum requirement for most boarding kennels. We strongly recommend a C5 vaccination for all dogs due to the frequency that we see dogs with canine cough in this area.
