Protecting Your Pet with Safe and Effective Vaccinations

At Wishing Well Vets in Wishaw, our vaccination services help protect your pet from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases. Regular vaccinations are an essential part of keeping your dog or cat healthy throughout their life.

During your appointment, we’ll carry out a full health check and ensure your pet’s vaccinations are up to date based on their lifestyle and risk factors. Vaccinations are usually carried out during a routine vet consultation, making it easy to keep your pet protected with ongoing care.

During your pet’s vaccination appointment, we’ll ensure they are healthy, discuss their needs, and provide the most suitable protection to keep them safe.

Full health check
Before giving any vaccination, we’ll carry out a thorough examination to make sure your pet is fit and well.

When to vaccinate your pet

Keeping up to date with vaccinations helps protect your pet and prevents the spread of infectious diseases.

Puppy and kitten vaccinations
Young pets need a course of vaccinations early in life to build strong immunity.

Annual boosters
Regular boosters help maintain protection against common diseases throughout your pet’s life.

Lifestyle changes
If your pet’s routine changes, such as boarding, travel, or increased social contact, additional protection may be advised.

Real experiences from clients who’ve trusted us with their pet’s care.

Love this little private practice. They have helped me take care of my animals for 16 years and are always welcoming and comforting. My pets don't mind going to the vet because it's always a positive experience no matter how traumatic it could be.

Toria Simpson

Had another lovely visit and so pleased with how they managed to keep my guinea pigs calm while getting their nails clipped and the love they have for all the animals that come in is great and I would recommend any one use their services

Alistair Andrew McLeod

My cockapoo went in for a spey. The staff were all very warm and welcoming. The procedure was fully explained to me and what to expect after the operation. She went back for a checkup today and once again the staff were all very helpful, caring and so welcoming. The treatment and care given to my fur baby was exceptional and second to none.

Morag Maclean

Great service for many years. The staff are always very professional, and the receptionist are excellent. Also, the out of hours link to emergency Vets works really well and there is good coordination between them and wishing well. I feel they really really care about your pet
