Pet Vaccinations: Protecting Your Pet From the
Start
Vaccination is one of the most important things a pet owner can do to protect their animal's long-term
health. Modern vaccines are safe, highly effective, and provide protection against a range of serious —
and in some cases fatal — infectious diseases. Edhen Vets provides dog vaccinations Cornwall and cat
vaccinations Cornwall across all three Cornwall branches, with annual booster reminders and full
vaccination records provided as standard.
Dog Vaccinations
The core vaccination schedule for dogs protects against the most prevalent and dangerous infectious
diseases in the UK. Puppies receive their primary course starting from around eight weeks of age, with a
booster at around 10–12 weeks and then annual or triennial booster vaccinations throughout their life.
As part of your dog vaccinations Cornwall appointment at Edhen Vets, the vet will also carry out a full
health check — making it an ideal opportunity to discuss any other aspects of your dog's health.
Vaccine Disease Protected Against Schedule
Distemper (DHPPi) Distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenzaPrimary + annual/triennial booster
Leptospirosis Bacterial infection — affects liver and kidneys Annual booster required
Kennel Cough (Bordetella) Infectious tracheobronchitis Annual — especially for boarding/socialising
Rabies Required for international travel As required for pet travel
Cat Vaccinations
Cats are susceptible to several serious infectious diseases, many of which are spread through contact
with other cats or contaminated environments. Edhen Vets' cat vaccinations Cornwall service covers
both primary courses for kittens and annual boosters for adult cats, keeping protection current
throughout your cat's life.
Vaccine Disease Protected Against Schedule
Cat Flu (RCP) Rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, panleukopaenia Primary + annual booster
Feline Leukaemia (FeLV) Feline leukaemia virus — especially for outdoor caPtsrimary + annual booster
Rabies Required for international travel As required for pet travel
■ Vaccinations are included in the Edhen E365 Pet Health Club — meaning members receive all
core annual vaccinations as part of their monthly plan at no additional cost.

Preventive Care: Keeping Your Pet Healthy
Year-Round
Preventive healthcare is the foundation of a long, healthy life for your pet. Regular check-ups, parasite
control, dental care, and appropriate neutering advice all contribute to catching problems early, reducing
the risk of serious illness, and keeping your pet comfortable and active throughout their life. As your
trusted vets in Truro or vets in Newquay practice, Edhen Vets takes a proactive approach to preventive
health — building a relationship with each patient that allows the team to spot changes early and act
quickly when needed.
Parasite Prevention
Fleas, ticks, worms, and mites are year-round concerns for Cornish pets — particularly given the
county's mild climate, which supports parasite populations throughout the year. Edhen Vets
recommends a tailored parasite prevention programme for every patient, taking into account lifestyle,
environment, and risk factors. The E365 pet health plan Cornwall includes 12 months of flea, tick, and
mite prevention as standard — removing the need to remember individual product purchases.
Fleas — Year-round treatment recommended — fleas can survive indoors throughout winter in
Cornwall's mild climate
Ticks — Increasingly prevalent across Cornwall — particularly in grassy, wooded, and moorland
areas. Tick checks after walks are advisable
Roundworm & Tapeworm — Regular worming every 1–3 months depending on lifestyle —
essential for both pet and human health
Lungworm — Increasingly common in the South West — monthly prevention recommended for
dogs at risk
Ear Mites — Common in cats and dogs — signs include head shaking, scratching at ears, and dark
discharge
Neutering & Spaying
Neutering is one of the most beneficial decisions a pet owner can make — reducing the risk of several
cancers, eliminating the risk of pyometra in females, and preventing unwanted litters. Edhen Vets offers
spay and neutering for both dogs and cats, including laparoscopic (keyhole) spays for dogs — a
minimally invasive procedure that reduces recovery time and post-operative discomfort compared to
traditional open surgery.
■ Edhen Vets offers laparoscopic spays — keyhole surgery that typically means less pain, smaller
incisions, and faster recovery than a traditional open spay. Ask the team for more information at
your next appointment.

Emergency Veterinary Care: Here When You Need
Us Most
Pet emergencies are among the most stressful experiences an owner can face — and having access to
a trusted emergency vet Cornwall service at any hour makes an enormous difference. Edhen Vets
operates 365 days a year and provides emergency and out-of-hours support, ensuring your pet can
always reach experienced veterinary care when it matters most.
Signs That Require Urgent Veterinary Attention
Knowing when a situation is a genuine emergency — versus something that can wait for a routine
appointment — can be difficult. The following signs should always be treated as urgent and prompt an
immediate call to Edhen Vets:
Breathing difficulties — Rapid, laboured, or noisy breathing; open-mouth breathing in cats
Collapse or loss of consciousness — Including sudden weakness, inability to stand, or
unresponsiveness
Seizures or fitting — Especially if lasting more than 2–3 minutes or occurring in clusters
Suspected poisoning — Including ingestion of chocolate, xylitol, grapes, raisins, rat poison, or
human medications
Severe vomiting or diarrhoea — Especially if blood is present or if the pet is visibly distressed
Bloated or distended abdomen — Particularly in large breeds of dog — can indicate GDV, a
life-threatening condition
Eye injuries or sudden blindness — Including trauma, cloudiness, or sudden behavioural changes
suggesting vision loss
Difficulty urinating — Especially in male cats — urinary blockage is a serious emergency
Severe lameness or suspected fracture — Including inability to bear weight following trauma
Suspected heatstroke — Especially after exercise in warm weather — cool the animal and call
immediately
■■ If you think your pet may have been poisoned, call Edhen Vets immediately — do not wait for
symptoms to develop. Early treatment is significantly more effective than responding after
symptoms appear.

Advanced & Specialist Veterinary Services
As an independent RCVS-accredited practice, Edhen Vets invests in the training, equipment, and
expertise to offer a range of advanced and specialist services that many corporate practices of similar
size do not provide. From minimally invasive surgery to complementary therapies and specialist
cardiology, the team is committed to delivering gold-standard care across every aspect of veterinary
medicine.
Laparoscopic Spays
Laparoscopic (keyhole) spaying is a minimally invasive surgical technique that offers significant
advantages over traditional open spay surgery. Using a small camera and specialist instruments
inserted through tiny incisions, the vet removes the ovaries (or ovaries and uterus) with far less tissue
trauma, resulting in reduced post-operative pain, a lower risk of complications, and a faster return to
normal activity — typically within 24–48 hours rather than the 10–14 days required after an open
procedure.
Pet Cardiology
Heart disease is one of the most common conditions in older dogs and cats, and early diagnosis makes
a significant difference to management outcomes. Edhen Vets offers specialist pet cardiology services
including echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart), ECG recording, and cardiac medication
management — delivered by experienced clinicians and reviewed in conjunction with specialist
cardiologists where required.
Additional Advanced Services
Service Description
Laser Therapy Low-level laser therapy for pain management, wound healing, and arthritis — drug-free, non-invasive
Dental Care Full dental health assessments, scaling and polishing under anaesthetic, and extractions
Dental Hygiene Care Plan Monthly plan for ongoing dental health management — helping avoid costly procedures
Holistic Care Complementary approaches including acupuncture and nutritional support alongside conventional medicine
Pet Travel Health certificates, microchipping, vaccinations, and documentation for international pet travel
Diagnostics In-house blood testing, urinalysis, X-ray, and ultrasound for fast, accurate diagnosis
Prescription Requests Repeat prescription service — convenient online or in-practice requests for ongoing medications
