Why does my pet need a vaccination?
Some of these diseases are deadly and most have symptoms that are very unpleasant and make pets suffer – in both cases, the infection can be expensive to treat.
For all these reasons and due to the requirements of the legislation in Bulgaria and the EU, it is very important to make sure that your pet is properly vaccinated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you accepting new patients?
Which vaccines does my dog or cat need?
Vaccines can be classified as “recommended” or “supplemental”.
Recommended means for all pets, with rare exceptions.
Supplemental vaccines, on the other hand, are only recommended for some pets based on lifestyle and risk.
How often should I vaccinate my pet?
This varies slightly depending on your pet’s lifestyle.
We will work with you to create the best-personalized plan for your pet so that they can get the protection they need without more treatment than necessary.
For example, as a general rule in the EU, rabies vaccination is done at least once every three years.
We strongly recommend that basic vaccines be given each year.
Why does my puppy or kitten need so many vaccines?
Three things are important to know about young pets:
- Puppies and kittens have an immune system that is not fully developed. This means that they are at a much higher risk of contracting a dangerous viral or bacterial infection than adults.
- Your puppy’s or kitten’s immune system may not be strong enough to respond properly to just one vaccination.
- Maternal antibodies – or long-lasting antibodies from breast milk – can block the effects of the vaccine. These antibodies fade over time, but the intensity varies for each pet.
For these reasons, giving your puppy or kitten the full “series” of vaccines, as recommended by your veterinarian, is the best way to ensure that they are protected.
*** It is important to keep in mind that for both puppies / kittens and adult pets, vaccines are most effective when given at intervals recommended by your veterinarian without delay. .
Are vaccines dangerous for my pet?
Just as for us humans, there is a small degree of risk with any drug or medical procedure – and that includes vaccines.
However, these risks are rare, while many diseases are quite common and often fatal.
Sometimes, just like us, our pets may feel some slight discomfort (soreness or fatigue or a mild fever) for a day or two after the vaccine.
