Cat disease and Cat flu are fatal diseases against which your cat needs to be vaccinated;

  • Cat disease is a highly contagious and fatal disease caused by the panleukopenia virus. The disease decreases the cat’s white blood cells weakening the immune system and making him prone to develop other diseases. The vaccine offers at least two years protecion once boostered.
  • Cat flu can be caused by different agents such as Herpesvirus, Calicivirus, Chamydophila felis, and Bordetella bronchiseptica, developing flu-like symptoms in cats. Vaccination reduces both the virus infection and severity of clinical signs and offers one year of protection.

There are additional vaccinations that are recommended following your cat’s lifestyle:

Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacterial infection causing severe respiratory disease. This bacteria is also one of the causes of kennel cough in dogs, that is why it is recommended for cats living with other cats or dogs. The vaccine is administered via nasal drops and offers one-year protection.

Rabies is a mandatory vaccine when traveling abroad offering 3-year protection. You can consult the requirements of each country to travel with your pet companion here

Kittens receive maternal antibodies from their mother. After birth, the number of antibodies decreases and after a few weeks they are no longer sufficiently protected against diseases and have to start making their antibodies: that is why vaccination is important, and some need to be repeated.

Vaccination Schedule

Yearly

 

RHD (Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease) is a deadly and highly contagious rabbit viral disease that you can vaccinate your rabbit against. RHD is caused by the RHD virus and presents two variants: RHD1 and RHD2. Until 2015, only RHD1 was detected in The Netherlands. Since then, RHD2 has also been identified in both wild and domestic rabbits and has now become the most prevalent.

RHD is highly contagious and can be transmitted by direct contact (via contaminated bedding, hay, shoe soles) or spread through the birds, fleas, and mosquitoes.

Myxomatosis is a fatal disease caused by the Myxoma virus that is transmitted by direct contact, fleas, mosquitoes, and gadflies. Myxomatosis outbreaks are common amongst the wild rabbit population in The Netherlands, that is why to provide the proper protection to your pet rabbit.

The vaccine protects your rabbit against Myxomatosis + RHD1 + RHD2 for one year.

When to vaccinate: from 5 weeks of age and repeated before 6 months OR from 7 weeks of age. In both cases, the protection starts 3 weeks after the vaccination and protects for one year.
