Mobile Dog and 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 convenient mobile cat and dog vaccinations across Bayside, Melbourne. 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 their owners 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 pet is healthy and to check for any early signs of illness. During the exam we will assess your pet’s weight, heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, joints, and teeth, and discuss important preventative advice about nutrition and dental care.

Mobile Puppy and Kitten 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.
