Vaccine Appointment

At Tatton Vets, we prioritise your pet’s health and well-being. Arranging a vaccine appointment is essential for safeguarding your pet against harmful diseases. Here is an outline of what you can expect during a vaccine appointment at our practice.

Welcoming You and Your Pet

Upon your arrival, our friendly staff will welcome both you and your pet. Our aim is to create a calm and comfortable atmosphere. We’ll ask you to complete any necessary paperwork to keep your pet’s records up to date.

Comprehensive Medical Examination

Before administering any vaccines, our vets perform a comprehensive health assessment. This ensures your pet is healthy enough for receiving vaccinations. We examine your pet’s eyes, ears, mouth, and general condition. We also listen to their heart and lungs.

Discussing Your Pet’s Requirements

Our vets will discuss your pet’s vaccination schedule and address any particular needs. We will explain the benefits of each vaccine and address any concerns you may have. This is a great time to ask questions about your pet’s health and wellness.

Administering the Vaccine

Once the health check is complete, we’ll administer the vaccine. Most vaccines are given via injection, which only takes a moment. Our experienced vets make this process as quick and painless as possible for your pet.

Post-Vaccination Observation

Following the administration of the vaccine, we observe your pet for a brief period of time. This is to ensure that there are no immediate side effects. The majority of pets tolerate vaccinations very well and can go home shortly thereafter.

Scheduling Future Appointments

Vaccinations are a crucial part of a preventive healthcare strategy. We’ll schedule future appointments to keep your pet on track. Regular vaccinations help protect your pet from various diseases throughout their life.
