Check Ups & Vaccinations
At Redgum Vet clinic we care about your pet’s health. This is why we recommend annual pet vaccinations. Both dogs and cats need to be vaccinated each year. Many of the most serious canine diseases, including Canine Hepatitis, Canine Distemper, Canine Parainfluenza, and Canine Parvovirus, are preventable with simple annual pet vaccinations. Some of these conditions can cause significant health problems, discomfort, or pain for your pet and can be so serious that they can cause death within a number of days and potentially even hours. For young pets especially it’s crucial to build up their immunity against diseases by getting pet vaccinations in accordance to their schedule.
Pet vaccinations not only protect your pets, but they also ensure your pets can’t infect others in your local community. An up-to-date pet vaccinations history is regularly required in places where dogs and cats will closely interact with each other.

There are several pet vaccinations choices for both dogs and cats. When you get a new puppy, the pet vaccinations program you follow will be in consultation with your vet. This may also depend on what vaccinations the puppy has already had and the age when those vaccinations were given. At Redgum, our Vets recommend C5 dog vaccination (this vaccinates against hepatitis, distemper, parvo and the most common forms of kennel cough).
They also recommend either an annual heartworm injection, or monthly heartworm tablets.
For cats, Redgum Vets recommends F3 vaccine (this vaccinates against feline enteritis and two forms of feline respiratory disease), and FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus).
Dogs and cats need to be wormed often. We understand it’s difficult to keep up with this schedule, so to help you we can send you an SMS or email to remind you it’s time for your pet to have their worm treatment. This is a great idea and means you don’t have to remember – it’s so hard to remember everything these days – now you can just wait for the text or email.
Our Vet Nurses are always available to support your pet vaccinations decision making in ensuring positive animal health. This ensures good animal health, especially when there are children in the family, who play with animals and might not be vigilant about hand washing.
