Vaccinations
Ensure your pet’s health with Tamboerskloof Family Vets. Staying informed about the necessary vaccinations and keeping them current is crucial for your animal’s well-being. Annual updates are vital!
As a valued client, we’ll send you an annual reminder to make sure your pets are brought in for their vaccinations. This service is part of our commitment to your pet’s health and happiness.
Advantages of ensuring your pets vaccinations are up to date:
Keeping your pet’s vaccinations up to date is crucial for protecting them against highly contagious and potentially deadly diseases. Vaccines prepare your pet’s immune system to fight off diseases like rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and feline leukemia, significantly reducing the risk of infection.
Some pet diseases, such as rabies, can be transmitted to humans. By vaccinating pets, we not only protect them but also contribute to public health and safety, preventing the spread of zoonotic diseases.
Preventive healthcare, including vaccinations, is far less expensive than treating the diseases they prevent. The cost of a vaccine is a fraction of the treatment costs for diseases like parvovirus or leptospirosis, which can require extensive hospitalization, medications, and even result in long-term health issues or death.
Many regions require certain pet vaccinations by law, particularly rabies shots for dogs and cats. Keeping vaccinations up to date ensures compliance with local regulations and demonstrates responsible pet ownership.
Vaccinations play a critical role in ensuring your pet lives a long, healthy, and happy life. They reduce the risk of disease, which means fewer visits to the vet for illness and more time for play, companionship, and enjoyment of life. Vaccinated pets are also more likely to enjoy socializing with other animals, whether in parks, boarding, or grooming facilities, without the risk of disease transmission.

Dental Maintenance
Advantages of ensuring your pets dental health are checked:
Regular dental check-ups can help prevent the development of oral diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth decay. Early detection and treatment can prevent these conditions from progressing to more serious health issues, improving your pet’s overall well-being.
Dental issues can cause significant pain and discomfort, which pets may not always show until the condition is advanced. Regular dental health checks ensure that any problems are identified and treated early, keeping your pet comfortable and pain-free.
Poor dental health can lead to halitosis (bad breath), which is not just unpleasant but also a sign of underlying health issues. Regular dental care keeps your pet’s mouth healthy and their breath fresh.
Bacteria from dental diseases can enter the bloodstream and affect various organs, including the heart, liver, and kidneys. By maintaining good dental health, you’re not just protecting your pet’s teeth but also their overall health and preventing potential organ damage.
Good dental health contributes to a better quality of life for your pet. It enables them to eat comfortably and painlessly, play happily, and enjoy social interactions without the discomfort of dental issues. Regular dental care is a key component of a holistic approach to your pet’s health, ensuring they live a long, happy, and healthy life.
