Vaccinations
-
At Port Phillip Animal Hospital we offer a full range of vaccines and we will advise you on the best vaccination protocol for your pet. We have vaccinations available for dogs, cats and rabbits. Your pet's vaccination appointment includes a full health examination by a veterinarian, which can help identify any problems at an early (and thus more treatable) stage.

Heartworm and Intestinal Worming
It is recommended that you use a preventative heartworm treatment for your dog. There are many options available so ask our nursing staff for advice on the best preventative for your situation. We recommend worming your pet for intestinal worms every 3 months. These treatments come in many forms and our staff can assist you in selecting the one that is right for your pet. We will also happily send you a reminder in 3 months so you know when your pet is next due.
Flea Treatment
We recommend that you use a monthly flea preventative on your pet. We offer an extensive range of flea treatments and it is recommended that you speak to one of our staff to ensure you are using the best product for your pet.
