Kitten Vaccinations
We offer tailored vaccination courses for kittens based on whether they will live primarily indoors or have access to the outdoors. The primary vaccination course begins at 9 weeks of age with a follow up at 12 weeks, ensuring your kitten is protected during these early, vulnerable stages of life. These vaccinations help defend against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, giving your kitten the best possible start. Each appointment also includes a full health check and the opportunity to discuss nutrition, parasite control, neutering, and general kitten care with our veterinary team.

Puppy Vaccinations
Our puppy vaccination course normally begins at 8 and 12 weeks of age, providing essential protection against a range of dangerous infectious diseases. To offer additional security, we also strongly recommend an extra Parvovirus booster at 20–22 weeks old, particularly for puppies that are out socialising, attending training classes, or walking in public areas. Every vaccination visit includes a full health check and plenty of time to discuss your puppy’s development, behaviour, diet, and ongoing preventative care.

Cats can usually be neutered from around 18 weeks of age, depending on their size and development. For dogs, the recommended timing is influenced by breed and expected adult size, using the latest breed-specific research. Rather than applying a single guideline to all, we carefully assess the whole picture for each individual dog to make the most appropriate recommendation.

At Trafford Vet, we understand how important good dental health is to your pet’s overall wellbeing. Our dental services help prevent and treat common problems such as plaque build-up, gum disease, tooth loss, and oral pain, which can also affect the heart, liver, and kidneys if left untreated. We offer thorough dental examinations, professional cleaning, and extractions where necessary, all carried out under careful anaesthetic monitoring. We also provide tailored advice on home dental care to help keep your pet’s teeth and gums healthy between visits.

Microchipping is a simple, safe, and permanent way to help ensure your pet can be quickly reunited with you should they ever go missing. At Trafford Vet, we offer quick and pain-minimised microchipping for cats, dogs, and other suitable pets, carried out by our trained team. The tiny chip is placed just under the skin and contains a unique identification number linked to your contact details on a national database. It’s a small procedure that offers lifelong peace of mind and is a legal requirement for dogs in the UK.

Our nurses can empty anal glands, change bandages, administer arthritis and allergy injections, remove stitches, monitor blood pressure, clean ears, and carry out post-operative checks.

If you’re planning to travel with your pet, our team can provide official Animal Health Certificates (AHCs) to ensure your journey is safe, legal and stress-free. We guide you through the entire process, check your pet’s microchip and vaccinations, and complete the required paperwork accurately and efficiently. We’ll explain the travel rules for your destination, help you avoid common delays at ports and airports, and make sure your pet is fully prepared for their trip. Our friendly, experienced vets are here to support you every step of the way, giving you confidence and peace of mind when travelling with your dog, cat or ferret.
