Vaccinations and parasite control
Vaccination schedule and parasite control tailored to each animal’s age and lifestyle.
What we treat
Vaccination and regular deworming are two of the most effective ways to protect your pet’s health and, in some cases, the health of the people at home too.
We adapt the vaccination schedule and the internal and external deworming protocol to each animal’s age, lifestyle and specific needs.
Vaccines protect against serious, sometimes fatal diseases such as distemper and parvovirus in dogs, or panleukopenia and calicivirus in cats. Which vaccines each animal needs, and how often, depends on age, lifestyle and current regulations: that is why we work with an individual plan rather than a copied calendar.
Parasite control covers two fronts: internal parasites such as intestinal worms, and external ones such as fleas, ticks and the sandfly, the insect that transmits leishmaniasis and is active for much of the year in the Mediterranean area. Some of these parasites can also affect people, so protecting your pet protects the whole household.
When to get in touch
It is a good time to get in touch if:
Your puppy or kitten’s vaccination schedule has not started yet.
You cannot remember when their last vaccination or deworming treatment was.
You are about to travel or take your pet to a boarding facility or day care.
You want to review the deworming protocol that best suits their routine.
You have just adopted and do not know their vaccination history.
There are young children, elderly people or a pregnancy at home: some parasites are transmissible.
You are going to travel with your pet outside Catalonia or Spain.

Frequently asked questions
Does my cat need protection if it never goes outside?
Yes. Some parasites come into the home with us, on clothes or shoes, and several diseases need no direct contact with other animals. An indoor cat’s plan differs from an outdoor cat’s, but it is rarely none at all.
How often should I deworm?
It depends on the animal and its life: a puppy is not an adult, and a dog that hikes every week is not a flat-dwelling cat. At the check-up we set the exact schedule and you take it home in writing.
Can leishmaniasis be prevented?
The risk can be greatly reduced by combining repellents, as a collar or spot-on, during the sandfly season and, for dogs with higher exposure, vaccination. No single measure gives full protection; the right combination is decided case by case.
