Clients have been coming to Holbeach & Fleet Veterinary clinic from Holbeach, Wisbech, Spalding, Moulton, Long Sutton, surrounding villages and even further afield for over the past 2 decades for their puppy vaccines. 

​

What vaccinations do puppies need?

Puppies will need a full course of core vaccinations, typically the first vaccinations is done at 8 weeks old by a veterinary surgeon who carries out a full health check, and then the second set of vaccinations is done a few weeks by a veterinary nurse to make sure they are fully vaccinated. Please be aware if you bought from a breeder, they may have already had the first set of vaccinations administered to your puppy, if so please make sure you have the paperwork for this (usually a vaccination card) as it will be needed for the second set of vaccinations.

​

After this, a booster vaccination is done annually by a veterinary surgeon who also carries out their annual health check.

​

Our core vaccinations help protect against:

• Canine Distemper (viral disease affect lungs, brain, gut)

• Hapatitis  (liver affected and could cause sudden death)

• Parvovirus (contagious virus causing diarrhoea, vomiting and sometimes fatal)

• Leptospirosis (typically water contaminated by rat urine, could result in kidney/liver failure)

 

 

Additional vaccines:

Kennel cough (usually required by boarding, day care and other facilities)

Rabies (required when travelling abroad)

​

**It is always best to make sure if boarding or travelling abroad you make sure you know which vaccines you are required to vaccinate your dog with.
