Vaccinations & Annual Health Checks

Protect. Prevent. Personalise.

At Whisker & Woof, we see your pet’s annual vaccination appointment as far more than just a quick jab—it’s a vital moment in your pet’s healthcare journey.

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect your dog or cat from serious infectious diseases. But just as importantly, their yearly check-up is a chance for us to get to know your pet in detail, spot health issues early, and offer tailored advice for the year ahead.

Why Vaccinate?

Vaccinations help protect your pet against common but potentially life-threatening illnesses, including:

  • Dogs: Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Kennel Cough

  • Cats: Cat Flu, Feline Enteritis, Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV)

These diseases can cause serious illness, suffering, and even death—especially in unvaccinated pets. Keeping your pet up to date with their boosters ensures long-term immunity and helps protect the wider animal population too.

More Than Just a Vaccine

Each annual vaccination appointment includes a comprehensive health check, where we:

  • Take a full medical history

  • Check eyes, ears, mouth and teeth

  • Listen to the heart and lungs

  • Examine skin, coat and body condition

  • Check joints, lymph nodes and abdomen

  • Assess weight, behaviour, and lifestyle

This gives us a valuable baseline and helps us detect early signs of illness, often before symptoms are visible at home. The earlier we find a problem, the easier it is to manage or treat.

Tailored to Your Pet

No two pets are the same—which is why we personalise every vaccination plan based on:

  • Breed and size

  • Age and life stage

  • Lifestyle (e.g. indoor/outdoor, travel, multi-pet households)

  • Medical history and any known sensitivities

Whether your cat rarely leaves the sofa or your dog is an avid explorer, we’ll build a preventative care plan that suits their unique needs.

Honest, Bespoke Advice

We’ll never recommend a vaccine your pet doesn’t need. Instead, we’ll talk you through the risks, benefits, and options—so you can make an informed decision with our expert support.

We also use this time to offer wellness advice, covering diet, parasite control, dental health, weight management and anything else that’s relevant to your pet’s wellbeing.

Keep Them Covered

Vaccinations and health checks are essential, even if your pet seems perfectly healthy. Subtle changes often go unnoticed at home, but can be picked up during a thorough veterinary exam.
