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.

What to expect from a vaccination appointment

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.

Tailored vaccination plan
We’ll recommend the most appropriate vaccines based on your pet’s age, lifestyle, and environment.

Expert advice
It’s also a great opportunity to ask any questions about your pet’s health, behaviour, or preventative care.

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.

Trusted by pet owners in Wishaw

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

The lovely Claire, Andrea and other staff have been looking after my dog Kobi since he was a pup taking very good care of him. Nothing is a bother to them and Kobi loves his visits as they make such a fuss of him. I highly recommend this practice

Everyone we seen was so nice and made us feel welcome. The vet, the nurses and the receptionists were extremely helpful, you could talk and ask anything you wanted to know. Teddy will be back in 2 weeks to see everyone.

Took our baby kitten in this morning, great with information and made us all feel very comfortable right away! Our kitten was nervous the vet dealt with her perfectly, treated her quickly & was very informative. Receptionist was extremely helpful and made sure we knew what to do after our appointment! Would recommend to anyone 🙏 …

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.
