Mobile Dog 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 dog vaccinations across Bayside and SE suburbs so your pet can receive simple preventative health care in the comfort of their own home.
The most important part of a vaccination appointment is doing a thorough physical examination (from nose to tail!) to ensure your dog 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 dog’s health.
Mobile Puppy Vaccinations
Puppy vaccinations are usually given as a series of injections to help build strong immunity while a puppy’s immune system is still developing.
In Australia, puppies and 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 dogs still require annual vaccinations with the first one given at 15 months of age.
What are dogs vaccinated for in Australia?
Canine Parvovirus
A highly contagious virus that causes severe vomiting, diarrhoea, and dehydration, particularly in puppies.
Canine Distemper Virus
A virus that affects the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems and can be life-threatening.
Canine Adenovirus (Hepatitis)
A viral infection that can damage the liver and other organs.
These are typically given together as a C3 vaccination in combination with
Kennel Cough (Bordetella and Parainfluenza).
If you dog requires a non-core vaccine for travel purposes such as rabies or leptospirosis, please get in touch.
