Every pet is different, and vaccination decisions can depend on their age, health, lifestyle, previous vaccination history and individual circumstances.
Our experienced veterinarians will consider all of these factors and tailor a vaccination protocol to your pet’s individual needs!
Vaccinations & Antibody Titre Testing.
We offer a full range of standard vaccinations for puppies, kittens, and adult pets, including primary vaccination courses and ongoing boosters. We also provide antibody titre testing for pet owners who wish to assess their pet's immunity before revaccination.
Our clinic currently stocks the following vaccines:
C4 vaccine: Protects against Canine Distemper Virus, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus, and Canine Parainfluenza Virus.
Kennel Cough (KC) vaccine: Protects against Bordetella bronchiseptica and is administered alongside the C4 vaccine to provide C5 vaccination.
If you are looking for a C3 vaccination, please contact our clinic to discuss the available options.
The vaccination titre testing plus health check with a veterinarian is $347.30, including GST. In order to keep your visit short, please come in 15 minutes prior to your appointment time for blood sample collection with one of our friendly nurses. The result will be available at the end of the consultation.

The process is quick and straightforward. We’ll gently clip a small area of your pet’s hair, apply a topical numbing cream, and carefully disinfect the site before collecting a small blood sample.
The sample is then tested on-site, with results available on the same day. Most of the time we can get this to you in 15-20 minutes while you wait, so we can discuss your pet’s immunity and next steps with you promptly.

If your pet has sufficient antibody levels following titre testing, we can provide you with a titre certificate to present to your pet’s daycare or boarding facility.
As requirements can vary between facilities, we strongly recommend contacting the daycare or boarding facility in advance to confirm whether they accept titre testing as an alternative to vaccination. This will help ensure everything is in place before your holiday or planned stay!
