Join our campaign to beat killer pet disease in Perthshire

During National Vaccination Month this May, Girling & Fraser vets will be offering a discount on vaccination for eligible cats, dogs and rabbits  to encourage pet owners, not to cut back on this life-saving healthcare.

By logging onto www.nvmonline.co.uk  pet owners can download a voucher for a discounted vaccination offering savings of around £30 at the surgery throughout May. 

TV wildlife presenter Chris Packham is supporting the campaign. A dog owner himself, he is worried that there are some indications of falls in vaccination rates since the start of the credit crunch which may be contributing to local rises and outbreaks of pet disease across Britain. It is currently feared that 3 million dogs, 6 million cats, 1.8 million rabbits and 500,000 horses are unvaccinated in the UK potentially leaving them at risk of disease.

In an area where pet disease is on the increase, we strongly advise our pet owners to regularly vaccinate their animals. We hope that this campaign will encourage pet owners to get their animals back on track with vaccinations to help them stay healthy.

We do not want to scare people but pet disease is out there – it is the kind of thing that you never think is going to happen to your beloved pet but when it does, it is devastating.

Dogs and cats over 18 months of age, that haven’t been vaccinated for at least 18 months are eligible for National Vaccination Month. Rabbits that haven’t been vaccinated for 9 months and are at least 9 months old are also eligible.

To book your dog, cat, or rabbit in for discounted vaccinations during May, contact the practice on 01738 635633
