Overview

Protection That Starts Before Illness Does

Vaccination is the single most effective thing you can do for your pet's long-term health. At Animal Medical Centre we build a schedule around your individual animal, taking its age, breed, lifestyle, and previous medical history into account, rather than working from a fixed checklist.

Every visit begins with a full physical examination, because a vaccine should only be given to a healthy animal. Our veterinarians check temperature, weight, coat, teeth, heart, and lungs, then talk you through what is due now and what to plan for next. Vaccines are stored in a temperature-monitored cold chain and logged in your pet's record so that boosters are never missed.

How It Works

What to Expect on the Day

  1. Registration

    Reception records your pet's details and weight, and retrieves the file if you have visited before.

  2. Health examination

    A veterinarian examines your pet and discusses appetite, energy, stool, and any recent changes at home.

Questions

Frequently Asked

We prefer to vaccinate only healthy animals, because an unwell immune system may not respond properly. If your pet has a fever, diarrhoea, or is off its food, we will treat that first and reschedule the vaccine at no extra consultation charge.

Mild tiredness or slight tenderness at the injection site for a day is normal. Serious reactions are rare, which is why we observe your pet before you leave. Call us straight away if you notice facial swelling, vomiting, or breathing difficulty at home.
