Our pets are family—so why not protect them like family? Vaccinations are a vital part of preventative healthcare, helping to stop the spread of contagious and sometimes life-threatening diseases.

At Lower Plenty Veterinary Clinic, our experienced veterinary team is here to advise, guide, and support you through every step of your pet’s health journey. With over 30 years of trusted service across Melbourne’s northern and north-eastern suburbs, we’re proud to be part of your community.

DOG VACCINATIONS

C5

PUPPY VACCINATION SCHEDULE

Puppies require a course of three vaccinations, given 4 weeks apart.

• First vaccination: 6-8 weeks of age
• Second vaccination: 10-12 weeks of age
• Third vaccination: 14-16 weeks of age

Adult dogs require an annual vaccination booster. Alternatively, we can perform a blood titre test to check for adequate immunity against Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper and Canine Infectious Hepatitis.

CAT VACCINATIONS

F3

Cat Vaccination

• Feline Panleukopaenia virus (Feline Enteritis)

Adult cats require an annual vaccination booster.

FELINE IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS VACCINATION (Feline AIDS)

Free roaming cats should also be vaccinated against Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, or Feline AIDS.

Kittens and adult cats require an initial course of 3 injections given 2-4 weeks apart. They may be given at the same time as F3 vaccinations. An annual vaccination booster is required to maintain adequate immunity.

RABBIT VACCINATION

Vaccination protects your rabbit against the often-fatal Rabbit Calicivirus Disease, or Viral Haemorrhagic Disease.

We recommend young rabbits receive a course of 2 injections given 4-6 weeks apart, beginning at 6-8 weeks of age.

Adult rabbits require a booster vaccination every 12 months to maintain adequate immunity.

Please note that there is currently no vaccine available in Australia to protect against rabbit Myxomatosis.
