Vaccinations & Parasite Prevention: Tailored protection for every pet
Vaccinations and parasite prevention are essential parts of lifelong pet care. At Edgeworth Vet, we don’t believe in blanket schedules. Every pet is different, and so are their health risks. That’s why we tailor each vaccination plan to your pet’s species, age, lifestyle, and medical history.
Whether your pet is a playful kitten, a senior dog, or an indoor rabbit, we’ll build a protection plan based on age, lifestyle, and risks. We also follow the most up-to-date veterinary guidelines and offer options like licensed three-year vaccines or titre testing where appropriate.
Our team takes the time to explain every recommendation, so you always feel confident in your pet’s care.
Why vet vaccinations matter
Vaccines help protect your pet from serious, preventable diseases such as:
- Parvovirus
- Distemper
- Kennel cough
- Feline herpesvirus
- Calicivirus
- Feline leukaemia virus
We offer three-year core vaccines where appropriate, and design custom vaccine schedules based on your pet’s lifestyle and exposure risks. Puppies and kittens begin with a series of vaccinations early in life, followed by boosters to maintain immunity. We’ll guide you through every stage.
Prevention not only protects their health, but it also protects your time together.
Parasite prevention, made simple
Parasites can do more than cause discomfort; they can make pets seriously unwell. We create simple, effective prevention plans that protect your pet year-round from:
- Heartworm: spread by mosquitoes and potentially fatal if untreated
- Fleas: cause skin irritation, hair loss, and can carry tapeworms
- Ticks: including paralysis ticks, common in our region
- Intestinal worms: like roundworm, hookworm, and tapeworm
If you have multiple pets, we’ll consider your pet’s environment, age, species, activity level, and household dynamics. Our goal is to make prevention easy, consistent, and stress-free.
What is titre testing?
Titre testing is a simple blood test measuring your pet’s immunity. It helps determine whether a booster vaccine is truly needed, especially helpful for pets with chronic health conditions, sensitivities, or past vaccine reactions.
If you’re unsure whether to vaccinate, we’re happy to discuss whether titre testing might be a good option.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does my pet need vaccinations?
Puppies and kittens need a series of vaccines in their first few months. Adult pets, depending on health and lifestyle, may only need core boosters every 1–3 years.
Do indoor pets need parasite prevention, too?
Yes, fleas and mosquitoes can enter homes, and many parasite risks aren’t limited to outdoor pets. We’ll adjust the plan to suit your pet’s environment.
Is it safe to give vaccinations and worming treatments in the same visit?
In most cases, yes. We often align wellness checks, vaccinations, and parasite treatment for convenience, especially for busy families.
What if I forget a dose of parasite prevention?
Let us know as soon as possible. We can advise you on the next step and help get your pet back on track safely.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Dr Nicole and the rest of the team for fitting in our dog for a torn dew claw this morning on such short notice. Ashlee on the phone was so lovely and quick to make the appointment for me. Our girl was treated with such care and we are very grateful 💕

Best vets I’ve ever been to with rabbits! Vet was so kind, gentle & knowledgeable. She not only looked after the unwell bunny, but also took our other bunnies at home into consideration. All staff were so helpful. The follow up phone call & sympathy card were so appreciated & such a beautiful touch. Will never take our pets anywhere else after such an amazing experience! 🩷

I was referred to Edgeworth vets as they have experience with bunnies and took my rabbit Ross there, he was old and not able to be saved so I had make the hard decision to have him put to sleep. The staff there were so kind and the vet I saw Kimberly was amazing. She was very kind and supportive and so gentle with Ross. I was able to stay with him while he passed and she talked me through everything. I’m so grateful to them that they helped Ross pass in a peaceful manner and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Booked it our new kitten for his first vet visit after we purchased him. The staff was so helpful and nice, plus they help us out after he did not enjoy the car trip very much. But they made him feel welcome and helped me out. The vet we sure was so helpful and answered all our questions. They even gave us a little info pack about our kitten etc. They were recommended to us by a good friend and I would 100% recommend them to anyone that has a pet that needs a caring vet.

These guys truly care. I couldn’t get my rabbit into his usual vet, however, they took him. Unfortunately it was the end of the journey for Boris and they were helpful, compassionate and loving the whole way. I even got a sympathy card 2 weeks later. Thank you for your love and care.

Fantastic vets, we have been bringing our chickens here for 3 years now and have no complaints. Recently moved our cats to Edgeworth as well. All vets we have seen here have been great as well as the vet nurses. The receptionists are very helpful, its a releif to walk in the door and know that our pets are going to be well looked after.

Thank you for the beautiful card and condolences to our family after losing a battle with Jet. She tried so hard and fought like a little champion that she was. Thank you for your ongoing support, care, advice, and strength you showed to us, so that we could be strong. Unfortunately, little Jet succumbed to her many health issues but is now pain free. We will be under Edgeworth Animal Hospital for all of feathered family members. I couldn’t have asked for more

I had an emergency with my cat, and came without an appointment. I was seen straight away. Every single interaction I had with the lovely people at this vet was amazing. They are so kind and go 110% for your fur baby. They went above and beyond and made this cat dad feel like everything was going to be ok. I cannot thank them enough.
