West Mount Vets

National Vaccination Month

Discounted vaccination during March 2008

If your pet is more than six months late with their booster vaccination you can benefit from a nationwide health campaign.

During March we are participating in an amnesty for the UK’s 11 million unprotected dogs, cats and rabbits at risk of potentially fatal diseases.

Animal health company, Intervet, has shown that a number of serious and deadly diseases have been reported in this area. Parvovirus can cause life-threatening gastro-intestinal disease while leptospirosis, a bacterial disease, can be transmitted to people.

Cat ‘flu is still far too common and is the most common cat disease in the UK. Ongoing mild weather conditions continue to put rabbits at risk of myxomatosis, a fatal disease spread by biting insects, which was particularly prevalent last autumn.

West Mount Vets are urging pet owners to protect against these diseases.

Throughout March, National Vaccination Month aims to limit the spread of disease by offering pet owners the chance to vaccinate for less. Dogs and cats will require two vaccinations 2-3 weeks apart to re-start the course. We are offering you these two vaccinations for the price of a normal booster.

If your dog or cat has not been vaccinated in the last 18 months, or the last 9 months for rabbits, go to www.vaccinationmonth.co.uk to download your voucher and then phone us to book your appointment at one of our surgeries

We would like to encourage as many owners as possible to take advantage of this fantastic offer. It is a great opportunity to have a health-check whilst getting the protection that all our pets deserve.

Please do not hesitate to phone us with any queries or to make an appointment.
