Blood testing is now available to check your dogs Parvo immune status as an alternative to annual vaccinations

We can now check your best friend’s actual protection status and tailor their vaccine requirements to precisely what they need and no more.

With the new advances in vaccine development and testing it has been shown that the immunity offered by modern vaccinations (such as Nobivac DHPPi that VetCare uses) can last much longer than previously thought. For those of you understandably concerned about over vaccinating or for people who just want the best for their lifelong
companion we can take a blood test and send it to Gribbles Veterinary Laboratories. They will be able to give us a measurement of your dogs protective antibodies for Parvo .

We can then tell you if your dog is protected against this deadly disease without having to have an annual vaccination. Many dogs will have protective immunity for 3 years from their absolutely essential puppy course and the follow up vaccination done at 15months of age.

We still recommend that your pet comes in for an annual examination throughout their lives as we check them over for lots of other health problems that can occur and also they may need a yearly Leptospirosis vaccination and vaccination for kennel cough if they are at risk for these diseases.

The discounted cost for this blood test is $89.00 and the results are usually available in 24 hours.

Please ring VetCare on 3613500 to discuss your dog’s blood test or your dogs individual vaccine requirements.
