As we are approaching the time for your pets booster, we wanted to update you on some changes we have made to our vaccination protocol for dogs. At the Mayne Veterinary Clinic, we are committed to providing the best possible care for your pets, which includes staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in veterinary medicine. In this case we are updating the way we protect our dogs against leptospirosis.
What are we changing?
Leptospirosis is a disease that can infect dogs and people and can present in a range of severity from mild disease to fatal infections. We have traditionally vaccinated our dogs against two strains of leptospirosis, but there is growing evidence that there are strains of leptospirosis currently in the UK that are not covered by the current “L2” vaccine. Therefore, following the recommendations of the World Health Organisation, we will be switching our patients over to the more comprehensive “L4” vaccine.
What this means for your pet?
When we see your dog for their booster we will be switching to the L4 version of the vaccine. However, to ensure your dog receives optimal protection, we will need to administer a follow-up vaccine 4 weeks after your pet’s regular booster. This additional dose is crucial for building comprehensive immunity against the expanded range of leptospirosis strains. There will be no additional charge for receiving the follow up vaccine.
Our commitment to you
As always, our team is dedicated to providing compassionate and high-quality care for your pets. We believe this change will significantly enhance the protection we can offer against this potentially serious disease.
If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re here to address any queries you may have and to ensure the continued well-being of your beloved pet. More information about L4 vaccines can be found by following this link.
Thank you for entrusting us with your pet’s care. We look forward to seeing you and your furry friend at your next appointment.
Warm regards,
The Mayne Veterinary Clinic Team
