Protect your pet’s health year-round with personalised care.
Whether you have a puppy, kitten, adult dog or senior cat, regular vet checkups and vaccinations are essential for long-term health. At Mosman Vet, we make it easy. Every visit includes a full physical exam, tailored advice, and protection that suits your pet’s age, lifestyle and health needs.

Why Vaccinations for Dogs & Cats Matter
Vaccinations protect your pet from serious and potentially fatal diseases. We only recommend what’s necessary for your pet, based on their environment, exposure risk, and stage of life. Core vaccines are strongly advised, while lifestyle vaccines are considered case by case.

When to Book a Checkup or Booster
Every adult pet should visit the vet once a year for a health check and vaccine review. For pets with health concerns, or those in their later years, more frequent visits may be advised.
Puppies and kittens: every 4–6 weeks until 16–18 weeks of age
Adult dogs and cats: annually
Seniors: every 6–12 months, depending on their needs
What to Expect on the Day
Appointments are calm, thorough, and tailored to your pet. You’ll see a familiar face, and we’ll take the time to answer your questions, explain what we’re seeing, and guide you through any next steps.
If your pet is due for a vaccine, we’ll administer it at the same time as their checkup — no need for separate bookings.
