Mobile Cat Vaccinations

Vaccinations are one of the most effective ways to protect pets from serious infectious diseases. At Nose To Tail Mobile Vet Care, we provide cat vaccinations across Bayside and SE suburbs so your pet can receive simple preventative health care in the comfort of their own home.

Home vet visits can make the experience easier for both pets and you as their owner in the following ways:

  • Reduced stress for pets – Many animals are more relaxed when examined at home rather than travelling to a clinic or sitting in a busy waiting room.

  • Convenience – Mobile vet vaccinations save travel time and make it easier to keep up with your pet’s preventative healthcare.

  • Personalised care – Home visits allow more time to for discussions and also allow the vet to observe the home environment which can give them a deeper understanding of your pets lifestyle.

Arguably, once of the most important aspects of a vaccination appointment is doing a full physical examination (from nose to tail!) to ensure your cat is healthy and to check for any early signs of illness. This is also a good opportunity to discuss any other concerns you may have about your cat’s health.

Mobile Kitten Vaccinations

Kitten vaccinations are usually given as a series of injections to help build strong immunity while a kitten’s immune system is still developing.

In Australia, kittens typically receive their first vaccination at around 6–8 weeks of age, followed by additional boosters at 10–12 weeks. After the initial course is completed, all cats still require annual vaccinations with the first one given at 15 months of age.

What are cats vaccinated for in Australia?

Feline Panleukopenia (Feline Parvovirus)
A serious virus that attacks the immune system and digestive tract.

Feline Herpesvirus
A major cause of upper respiratory infections and eye disease in cats.

Feline Calicivirus
A virus that can cause respiratory illness and painful mouth ulcers.

These vaccines are commonly given as the F3 vaccine.

Additional Cat Vaccines- FIV

Some cats may benefit from also receiving the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), particularly for cats that go outdoors.

We will assess your cats risk factors and determine which vaccination they require at at your cat vaccination appointment.
