Dog Vaccinations FAQs
Just a few common questions about Dog Vaccinations. If there is something else you need to know just ask in the Contact Us form below!
At What Age should I start my puppy vaccines?
You should start your puppys vaccine program between 6 and 8 weeks of age. This is the time when the natural immunity passed down from their mother begins to fade.
Does my dog need a rabies vaccination in Australia?
No. Australia is a rabies-free country, so this vaccination is not required or recommended for dogs that live here. It is only needed if you plan to move or travel overseas with your dog to a country where rabies is present.
When can my puppy safely go to the park?
To be safe, you should wait until 10 to 14 days after your puppy’s final vaccination (usually around 16-18 weeks of age). This ensures they have developed full immunity before being exposed to public areas where unvaccinated dogs may have been.
We're overdue for a vaccination! What should we do?
Give our clinic a call to book an appointment as soon as you can. For most adult dogs, we can get them back on track with a simple booster.
