As a client of West Blacktown Veterinary Clinic, your pet goes on our set-and-forget vaccination plan for life. We'll send a reminder by email and text as the next vaccination comes due, so it's one less thing to keep track of.

Young animals are born with maternal antibodies that can interfere with a vaccine taking effect properly, so puppies and kittens go through a short multi-step vaccination course rather than a single shot. It looks like more visits early on, but it's what gives them solid, lasting protection.

Immunity from vaccination fades over time, which is why an annual vaccination keeps antibody levels where they need to be - particularly important with the local tick, distemper, parvovirus and kennel cough activity we see through the Blacktown area each year.
