These protocols may differ from the licencing information for each vaccine used – this is because those contain the minimum needed to achieve licencing of the product, NOT Best Practice guidelines. Therefore, our use of the vaccines is considered “off-label,” but evidence-based. The aim of our protocols is to vaccinate ALL dogs and cats with as few vaccine doses as possible to keep them protected for life. https://www.rangioravetcentre.co.nz/seniors daily 0.75 2025-01-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1614309847455-56OYVKHK5Q8NM3HQRVHE/www+old+dog+head.jpg Seniors https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f87b82c3640400719116914/1611276674631-31C37B9OLSD4ZWF63QM9/ACP+Senior+Cat+pic.jpg Seniors - Senior Cat Annual Care Plan It is vital for your cat’s continuing good health that we maintain their protection from disease by keeping their vaccinations up to date.

Statistically, a desexed animal is more likely to live a longer, healthier life compared to a non-desexed animal. Desexing at the right time can reduce the risk of some cancers later in life and assists in creating a more sociable family member. Desexed pets are less likely to wander and tend to be less aggressive. Call us to discuss when the right time is for your pet to be desexed.
