Hello there! It’s great that you’re staying informed about the vaccines your cat needs. So, to clarify, the FVRCP vaccine and the Chlamydophila vaccine are not the same.
The FVRCP vaccine is a combination vaccine that protects against three major diseases: Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis (FVR), Calicivirus (C), and Panleukopenia (P). These are core vaccines, meaning they are highly recommended for all cats due to how common and contagious these diseases are.
On the other hand, the Chlamydophila vaccine specifically targets Chlamydophila felis, a bacteria that can cause respiratory problems and conjunctivitis (eye infections) in cats. This vaccine is usually recommended for cats in multi-cat households or catteries where the risk of transmission is higher.
At home, keeping your cat indoors and maintaining a stress-free environment can help minimize the risk of contracting these infections. Also, be on the lookout for signs like sneezing, coughing, discharge from the eyes or nose, or a decrease in appetite, which could indicate an infection. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s a good idea to seek veterinary advice.
If you have more questions or if your cat is showing any concerning signs, scheduling a video consult with one of our vets on Dial A Vet could provide you with more personalized guidance. Take care!

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
