Start your pets vaccinations again for the price of a booster
Your pets can benefit from a nationwide health campaign taking place in June. As part of National Vaccination Month, Purton Veterinary Group is participating in an amnesty for the UK's 11 million unprotected, dogs, cats and rabbits at risk of potentially fatal diseases, offering them a full vaccination course for the price of a booster.
Recent research by animal health company, Intervet, has shown that a number of serious and deadly diseases have been reported in the Wiltshire area.
During the most recent 2007 survey, 62 per cent of veterinary practices reported incidents of the killer dog disease, parvovirus, during the previous 12 months, while leptospirosis, which can also be transmitted to people, was seen by 43 per cent of veterinary practices in the UK.
Cat flu was seen by 78 per cent of the nation's vets during a one month period making this the most common cat disease reported.
Ongoing mild weather conditions continue to put rabbits at risk of myxomatosis, a fatal disease spread by biting insects, which was particularly prevalent last autumn.
