Hello there! Great question about your pet's vaccine boosters. Understanding the difference between the 1-year and 3-year vaccines can help you make the best decision for your furry friend.
Both 1-year and 3-year vaccines serve the primary purpose of protecting your pet against diseases like rabies, distemper, and parvovirus. The main difference lies in their duration of protection. 1-year vaccines need an annual booster, while 3-year vaccines are designed to offer extended protection with less frequent boosters.
Your choice between these depends on several factors, including your pet’s lifestyle, health, and local regulations, especially concerning rabies. Some pets might benefit from the annual booster if they have health concerns or are exposed to environments with higher risks of disease.
Remember to watch out for any vaccine reactions, which are rare but can happen. Signs include swelling at the injection site, lethargy, or mild fever. More serious reactions, like difficulty breathing, vomiting, or facial swelling, require immediate veterinary attention.
To decide what's best for your pet, a video consult with a vet can provide personalized advice considering their specific needs and health status. Booking a session with Dial A Vet can give you peace of mind and ensure you're taking the right steps for your pet's health. Looking forward to connecting with you and your pet soon!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
