Vaccination is one of the most effective tools in preventive veterinary medicine. It prepares your pet’s immune system to fight dangerous infectious diseases before they take hold. In Pakistan, where diseases like rabies, parvovirus, and distemper remain prevalent, keeping vaccinations current is essential.
At Zia Vet Clinic, we design customised vaccination programmes based on species, age, health status, and exposure risk. We follow internationally recognised guidelines and never overvaccinate.
Core vaccines protect against diseases that are widespread, highly contagious, or pose serious health risks: Canine Distemper, Parvovirus, Adenovirus (Hepatitis), and Rabies. Puppies begin their series at six to eight weeks, with boosters every three to four weeks until approximately sixteen weeks. Adults receive boosters based on health profile and risk assessment.
For cats, core vaccinations include Feline Panleukopenia, Calicivirus, Herpesvirus (Rhinotracheitis), and Rabies. Kittens begin at six to eight weeks with a series of boosters. Indoor cats still need core vaccinations, as several diseases can transmit without direct contact with infected animals.
Depending on lifestyle and risk, we may recommend Bordetella (kennel cough), Leptospirosis, or Canine Influenza for dogs. Feline Leukaemia Virus vaccine is common for cats with outdoor access. Our vets discuss what is appropriate during wellness visits.
Certain exotic species, particularly rabbits and ferrets, benefit from vaccination. Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease and Myxomatosis vaccines are available where appropriate. Discuss your exotic pet’s needs with our specialist team.
Every vaccination visit begins with a brief health assessment — temperature, weight, and
overall condition check. This ensures your pet is healthy enough for immunisation and allows us
to catch issues early. After vaccination, we observe briefly and provide a vaccination record
card.
