Vaccinations & Deworming
Keep the diseases away, not the adventures.
Vaccinations are one of the most effective and affordable ways to protect your pet against serious, often fatal diseases. A single vaccine can prevent conditions that cost tens of thousands of shillings to treat — if they're treatable at all.
We administer core vaccines for dogs — distemper, parvovirus, canine hepatitis, and rabies — and for cats — feline panleukopenia, calicivirus, herpesvirus, and rabies. Beyond the core set, we assess your pet's lifestyle, environment, and travel habits to recommend additional lifestyle vaccines like kennel cough (Bordetella), leptospirosis, and feline leukaemia (FeLV).
Deworming is equally critical. Intestinal parasites — roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms, and whipworms — are common in Kenya's warm climate and can cause weight loss, anaemia, diarrhoea, and in severe cases, life-threatening bowel obstruction. Some parasites are also zoonotic, meaning they can spread to humans, especially children.
We build a personalised vaccination and parasite-prevention calendar for every patient — from first puppy or kitten shots through to annual adult boosters — and send you SMS reminders so nothing falls through the cracks.
