💉 What Does the C7 Vaccination Protect Against?
The C7 is our most comprehensive annual dog vaccine, protecting against seven serious diseases:
-
Distemper
-
Hepatitis
-
Parvovirus
-
Leptospirosis – spread via rat urine, can cause severe liver and kidney failure
-
Canine Coronavirus – causes diarrhoea, common in our area
-
Bordetella bronchiseptica
-
Parainfluenza – both Bordetella and Parainfluenza cause kennel cough / infectious tracheobronchitis
🛡 How Often Are Vaccinations Needed?
-
Distemper, Hepatitis & Parvovirus – boosters every 3 years
-
Leptospirosis & Coronavirus – yearly, due to local risk and exposure
-
Bordetella & Parainfluenza – yearly, especially in social dogs (parks, beaches, daycare, groomers)
Your vet will tailor a schedule based on your dog’s age, lifestyle, and health history.
➕ Additional Protection to Consider
At your dog’s vaccination visit, they may also be due for:
-
✅ Yearly Heartworm Injection (12-month protection)
-
✅ Yearly Flea & Tick Injection (12-month protection)
We’ll review their records and advise during your appointment.
🩺 What’s Included in the Annual Health Check?
Every vaccination visit at Pittwater Animal Hospital includes a comprehensive health check — because dogs age faster than humans, an annual vet visit is like you seeing your doctor every 5 years.
Your check-up may include:
-
✔️ Booster vaccinations
-
✔️ Full physical exam – eyes, ears, skin, heart, weight, teeth, mobility
-
✔️ Preventative health review – tick, flea & heartworm protection
-
✔️ Nutrition & weight advice
-
✔️ Nail clipping & grooming advice
-
✔️ Anal gland expression (if needed)
-
✔️ Review & adjustment of current medications
🧪 Additional Services (Optional)
Depending on your dog’s age and health, we may recommend:
-
➕ Screening blood tests – monitor organ health, detect early disease
-
➕ Fine needle aspirates – check new lumps
-
➕ Skin cytology – assess skin infections or chronic problems
-
➕ Cartrophen courses – support for dogs with arthritis or stiffness
