Immunising Against Preventable Diseases

Vaccination is a cornerstone of preventive veterinary care. Hub Clinics provides a full vaccination clinic where pets receive age‑appropriate immunisations against serious diseases. These injections stimulate your pet’s immune system to recognise and fight viruses and bacteria, ensuring they’re protected throughout their life .

Vaccinations

Why Vaccinate Your Pet?

Vaccines offer many benefits:

  • Protection against deadly diseases such as rabies, distemper, parvovirus and feline leukemia .

  • Compliance with legal and travel requirements. Rabies shots are mandatory in the UAE, and proof of vaccination is needed for boarding, daycare and international travel .

  • Reducing contagious illnesses. Vaccines curb the spread of diseases like kennel cough and panleukopenia.

  • Shielding cats from viral infections such as feline leukemia virus (FeLV) and panleukopenia .

  • Partnership with leading vaccine manufacturers. Our clinics partner with respected animal health companies to administer vaccines that meet strict safety and efficacy standards .

  • Tailored vaccination plans based on your pet’s age, lifestyle and risk factors .

  • Protection of public health by reducing zoonotic diseases such as rabies and leptospirosis .

  • Lower risk of costly emergency treatment. Preventing diseases is less expensive than treating them .

  • Peace of mind knowing your pet and community are safe .

Core and Non‑Core Vaccines

Vaccines are divided into core—essential for all pets—and non‑core—recommended based on individual risk. Your veterinarian will assess your pet’s age, breed, lifestyle, travel history and environment to determine which vaccines are appropriate .

Core Vaccines for Dogs

  • Rabies: Protects against a lethal virus transmissible to humans .

  • Canine Distemper: Guards against a viral disease affecting respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems .

  • Parvovirus: Prevents severe vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration, especially in puppies .

  • Adenovirus Types 1 and 2: Protects against infectious hepatitis and respiratory disease .

Core Vaccines for Cats

  • Rabies: Required for legal and medical reasons .

  • FVRCP: Combination vaccine for feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus and panleukopenia .

  • FPV: Protects against feline panleukopenia virus .

Non‑Core Vaccines

These vaccines are recommended if your pet’s lifestyle or environment puts them at risk :

  • Leptospirosis: Bacterial disease transmitted through contaminated water .

  • Bordetella bronchiseptica: Causes kennel cough, important for boarding or dog daycare .

  • Canine Influenza: For dogs exposed to high‑risk or crowded areas .

  • Lyme Disease: For dogs in tick‑infested areas .

  • Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV): For outdoor cats or those in multi‑cat households .

The Vaccination Process

  1. Initial consultation and health check. We perform a physical exam and ensure your pet is healthy enough for vaccination .

  2. Vaccine selection and scheduling. We recommend core and non‑core vaccines based on age, lifestyle and medical history. Puppies and kittens begin immunisation around 8 weeks of age, with boosters every 3–4 weeks until 16 weeks; adult pets receive annual boosters .

  3. Safe, stress‑free administration. Vaccines are given by trained staff using gentle restraint; pets are monitored for reactions .

  4. Record keeping and reminders. We document all vaccinations and send reminders when boosters are due .

  5. Microchipping. We recommend microchipping during vaccine visits for permanent identification .

Benefits of Pet Vaccination

Vaccines provide lifelong protection, reduce disease severity, improve community health by limiting disease spread, save money on treatment costs and provide peace of mind .

When to Delay or Avoid Vaccination

In some cases, vaccination should be postponed. Contraindications include pregnancy, current illness or fever, recent immunisation, severe chronic disease, underweight or overweight status requiring evaluation, and certain acute infections (e.g., upper respiratory disease in cats). Your veterinarian will evaluate your pet’s health and advise on the safest timing .

Frequently Asked Questions

Puppies and kittens typically begin their vaccination series at 6 to 8 weeks of age. Prior to this, they're protected by maternal antibodies from their mother's milk. The vaccination series continues every 3 to 4 weeks until about 16 weeks of age, when maternal antibodies have waned sufficiently for the vaccines to produce lasting immunity.

Yes. Even indoor pets benefit from core vaccinations. Viruses can be brought into the home on shoes, clothing, or hands. Bats and other wildlife can occasionally enter homes, posing rabies risk. Escape is always possible, even for carefully supervised pets. And rabies vaccination is typically required by law regardless of lifestyle. We'll discuss which vaccines are most important for your indoor pet's situation.

Booster schedules vary by vaccine and individual factors. Rabies boosters are given every 1 to 3 years depending on the vaccine used and local regulations. Core combination vaccines are typically boosted every 3 years in adults who received proper initial series. Lifestyle vaccines may be given annually. We'll create an appropriate schedule for your pet.

All medical interventions carry some risk, but vaccines are very safe. Mild effects like brief soreness, low fever, or tiredness are possible and resolve quickly. Serious reactions are rare. The diseases vaccines prevent carry far greater risks than the vaccines themselves. Inform us of any previous reactions so we can take appropriate precautions.

It depends on how long ago they were last vaccinated. Generally, if only a few months have passed, a single booster is sufficient. If years have passed, your pet may need a restart series. We'll review your pet's vaccination history and recommend the most appropriate approach to restore their protection.
