Affordable Dog and Cat Vaccinations
at South Brisbane Vet:
Why Regular Vaccination Matters

Keeping your dog or cat vaccinated is foundational to their long-term health. Whether you're a new puppy or kitten owner working through the primary course, or an established pet owner due for a booster, South Brisbane Vet offers vaccination appointments that are thorough, affordable, and clearly priced.

​

We serve South Brisbane, West End, Highgate Hill, Kangaroo Point, Dutton Park, Paddington, and the surrounding inner south side of Brisbane.

Vaccinations We Provide

 

Dog Vaccinations — C2/KC, C3 and C5

​

Dogs in Australia need protection against several serious and potentially fatal diseases. We offer:

• C3 (core): Parvovirus, Distemper, and Hepatitis — mandatory for all dogs

• C2: Bordetella bronchiseptica and Canine Parainfluenza

• C5: All C3 components plus Bordetella bronchiseptica and Canine Parainfluenza — required for boarding, daycare, and dog parks

 

We use the Nobivac triannual vaccine at South Brisbane Vet. This allows eligible adult dogs to be vaccinated against core diseases every three years rather than annually, reducing the total number of vet visits required over a dog's lifetime. Annual Bordetella and Parainfluenza boosters are still required for dogs.

​

Cat Vaccinations — F3

​

We vaccinate cats with the F3 (also called the feline triple), which covers:

• Feline herpesvirus — a leading cause of cat flu and chronic respiratory problems

• Feline calicivirus — another major cat flu pathogen

• Feline panleukopaenia — a highly contagious and serious disease with high mortality in unvaccinated cats

 

The F3 is the core recommended vaccine for all cats in Australia. We do not routinely offer FIV or FeLV vaccination at our clinic — speak to us if you have specific concerns about your cat's lifestyle and risk profile.

What Happens at a Vaccination Appointment?

Vaccination isn't just an injection. Every appointment at South Brisbane Vet includes a complete physical health check. Our vet will examine your pet from nose to tail — eyes, ears, teeth, skin, heart, lungs, abdomen, joints, and lymph nodes. This is often where problems are picked up before they become serious.

• Head-to-tail physical examination

• Vaccination by our vet

• Vaccination certificate for your records

• Parasite prevention review

• Time to discuss any questions or concerns

​

Puppy and Kitten Vaccination Schedules

 

Puppies

• First vaccination: 6–8 weeks of age

• Second vaccination: 10–12 weeks

• Third vaccination: 14–16 weeks

• Final puppy vaccination: 6 months old

• Adult boosters: every 3 years (core/C3) with Nobivac triannual; annually for kennel cough (C2/KC)

 

Until your puppy has completed their primary course (all three vaccines), their immunity is not fully established. We recommend limiting exposure to unknown dogs and unvaccinated animals until this is complete.

​

Kittens

• First vaccination: 6–8 weeks of age

• Second vaccination: 10–12 weeks

• Third vaccination: 14–16 weeks

• Final kitten vaccination: 6 months old

• Adult boosters: every year
