Pet vaccinations at Maggie & Marlow
At Maggie & Marlow, we know how much your pet means to you, and we’re dedicated to helping you keep them safe and healthy. Vaccinations play a crucial role in protecting your beloved pets from preventable diseases, and they’re an essential part of responsible pet care.
Why vaccinations matter
Dogs, cats, and rabbits are all susceptible to serious, life-threatening diseases. Thanks to advancements in veterinary medicine, vaccines have dramatically reduced the number of these cases. However, just because these diseases are less common doesn’t mean they’ve disappeared. The best way to protect your pet is by keeping them up to date with their vaccinations.
How vaccines work
Vaccines contain harmless versions of viruses or bacteria, either weakened or inactive. When your pet is vaccinated, their immune system responds by creating antibodies. These antibodies help protect your pet if they’re ever exposed to the actual disease later on.
At Maggie & Marlow, we tailor our vaccination recommendations based on your pet’s lifestyle, risk factors, and the latest veterinary guidelines. Today’s vaccines are highly effective and often protect against multiple diseases with just one or two injections. However, it’s important to remember that immunity isn’t lifelong, which is why we recommend regular booster vaccinations. These appointments also give us a chance to conduct a full health check, ensuring your pet’s overall well-being.

Pet vaccination FAQs
Why does my pet need to be vaccinated every 12 months?
Different diseases provide varying lengths of immunity after vaccination. For example, protection against leptospirosis in dogs and flu in cats typically lasts about 12 months.
That’s why yearly boosters are recommended. Each annual vaccination might protect against different diseases, and your pet’s vaccination card will show which diseases they’ve been boosted against during each visit. T
hese appointments also include a full health check, which is just as important as the vaccination itself.
Does my pet need to be vaccinated if they live inside?
Even if your pet stays indoors, they can still be exposed to diseases. Pathogens can enter your home on shoes, clothing, or even through wildlife. Full vaccination provides peace of mind by protecting your pet in all circumstances, ensuring they’re safe no matter what.
