VACCINATIONS & PARASITE PREVENTION

We go the extra mile to provide a superior standard of protection and administration comfort for your dog.

• Leptospirosis Availability: We include the Leptospirosis (Lepto) vaccine as part of our core recommendations. This bacterial disease, often spread through the urine of infected animals or contaminated water, can cause severe kidney and liver damage and can even be transmitted to humans. We ensure this vital protection is readily available.
• Reduced Reaction Risk: We utilise the Intranasal Canine Cough (Kennel Cough) Vaccine. Administering this vaccine via the nose, rather than an injection, significantly reduces the chance of a vaccine reaction in your dog, leading to a much smoother experience.
• Highest Coverage Canine Cough Option: We use the highest level of Canine Cough vaccine coverage available to ensure your dog has the best possible immunity against Parainfluenza virus and Bordetella bronchiseptica. While no vaccine is 100% preventative, using the superior option means if your pet does contract the infection, symptoms are generally much milder, resembling a simple cold rather than a severe, life-threatening respiratory infection.

Our feline protocol ensures protection against the core diseases and, importantly, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

• Core F3 Vaccine: Protects against Feline Respiratory Diseases (Cat Flu), Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Parvovirus (Feline Panleucopaenia Virus), which is often rapid and fatal.
• FIV Vaccine: This vaccine protects against Feline AIDS, a viral infection mainly spread through bite wounds from infected cats. We recommend this protection due to local risk factors in Central Queensland.

For ultimate peace of mind and safety, we strongly recommend the non-over-the-counter injectable preventatives:

• Yearly Flea and Tick Injection: This product provides continuous coverage for the entire year. Once administered by our qualified team, you do not have to worry about forgetting a monthly dose or whether your pet spat out a tablet.
• Yearly Heartworm Injection: This ensures reliable protection against the devastating effects of heartworm disease. Because the medication is in the system, you eliminate the risk associated with forgetting monthly doses, which can be fatal if protection lapses.

We understand that pet products must be safe for the entire family:

• Eliminating Residue Risk: Injectable products offer a major safety advantage because there is no risk of children or family members interacting with topical residues. With spot-on products, there is a risk that if kids pat the dog immediately after application, they can get the product on their hands and potentially ingest it. Our injectable options remove this concern entirely.
• Screened Products: We only stock high-quality, veterinary-grade spot-ons and oral products that have been vetted by our veterinarians for efficacy, ensuring that any product we recommend offers reliable, high-level protection.
