How We Help
Vaccinations are one of the most important ways to protect animals from preventable and often life-threatening diseases. At Burdekin Vet Services, we provide tailored vaccination programs for dogs, cats, horses and cattle, ensuring each animal receives the right protection at the right time. Whether you have a young pet needing its first vaccine course or a mature animal requiring ongoing boosters, our vets are here to help keep your animals safe, healthy and protected year-round.

Cats

Vaccination plays a vital role in maintaining your cat’s long-term health. Kittens need a series of vaccines to build immunity, but these early doses do not provide lifelong protection, adult cats require regular boosters to stay safe.

We vaccinate against the major infectious diseases affecting cats, including:

  • Feline Panleukopenia (Enteritis)
  • Feline Respiratory Disease (‘Cat Flu’)
  • Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
  • Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV)
  • Chlamydia felis

Routine boosters are essential, especially for outdoor cats or those at higher risk of exposure.

Dogs

Puppies need their full course of vaccinations to build strong, early immunity — but like cats, ongoing boosters are required throughout life to maintain protection.
We vaccinate dogs against:

  • Parvovirus
  • Distemper
  • Canine Cough (Kennel Cough)
  • Leptospirosis
  • Infectious Canine Hepatitis (Adenovirus-1)
  • Canine Coronavirus

These diseases are present throughout Queensland, making regular vaccination critical, especially for active or social dogs.

Horses

Horses in northern Queensland benefit from routine vaccinations to reduce the risk of infectious disease and protect performance, breeding and working animals. We commonly vaccinate against:

  • Tetanus
  • Strangles
  • Hendra Virus

Vaccination protocols can vary depending on workload, travel, competition and property risk factors, so our team will help tailor a schedule to suit your horse.

Cattle

For cattle, vaccination is an important part of herd health and disease prevention. In northern Queensland, we commonly protect against:

  • Bovine Ephemeral Fever (BEF)
  • Clostridial diseases (5-in-1 / 7-in-1)
  • Botulism
  • Leptospirosis
  • Pestivirus (BVDV)

These vaccines help safeguard herd productivity, breeding success and long-term animal welfare.

No matter the species, we’ll help you create a vaccination plan that supports strong immunity, prevents serious illness and promotes lifelong health.
