Seren Vets

 

Be the first to review

Our History

Seren Vets was created by a group of like-minded vets, all of whom have worked extensively in the local area and who share similar values and a common goal: to offer high-quality independent veterinary care for the local community, whilst also looking after their staff and building a happy and committed team.

Seren Vets was first established in 2020 and, after years of planning (and a long and winding road!), the opportunity presented itself to open the Carmarthen practice in 2022 as part of the Burns Wellness Centre. This practice is now Carmarthen’s only independent small animal practice, with all other local practices belonging to large corporate companies.

Seren Vets also has a close working relationship with Gibson & Jones Vets, another independent practice with branches in Llanelli and Swansea. Gibson & Jones Vets has been established for over 40 years, and one of Seren’s Directors has recently taken over ownership.

Vaccinations

Our practice offers routine vaccinations for dogs, cats, rabbits and ferrets. Vaccinations play an important role in protecting your pet from severe and potentially fatal infectious diseases, and also prevent these dangerous infections from being spread to others.

Dogs

Core Canine Vaccines: Distemper, Parvovirus, Infectious Hepatitis, Leptospirosis

Recommended Canine Vaccines: Kennel Cough

Additional Vaccines: Rabies (if you plan to travel abroad)

Initial course: two vaccinations 2 – 4 weeks apart (depending on the vaccine), usually starting from 6-8 weeks old (most puppies have their first vaccination whilst still with the breeder).

After your puppy’s second vaccination, we recommend waiting at least 1 week before taking them outside for walks so that they are fully protected. You should also ensure that a microchip has been implanted and is up to date with your details.

A booster vaccination is recommended annually to keep immunity topped up.

Cats

Core Vaccines: Cat flu (Calicivirus, Herpesvirus), Infectious Enteritis (Panleucopaenia/Parvovirus), Leukaemia

Additional Vaccines: Rabies (if you plan to travel abroad)

Initial course: two vaccinations 3 – 4 weeks apart, usually from 8 – 9 weeks of age.

Until your kitten is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered it is advised to keep them inside your home.

A booster vaccination is recommended annually to keep immunity topped up.

Rabbits

Core Vaccines: Myxomatosis, RHD1, RHD2 (RHD = Rabbit Haemorrhagic Disease)

Rabbits only require a single dose of vaccine to offer up to 12 months protection.

A booster vaccination is recommended annually to keep immunity topped up.

Ferrets

Core Vaccines: Distemper virus

There are no specific ferret vaccines licensed for use the UK. However, a dog distemper vaccination is administered to ferrets instead. There is evidence to suggest that this is effective although its use is off-licence, so each ferret will be assessed to decide if vaccination is advisable. Distemper is an uncommon but serious disease in ferrets that often starts with coughing, sneezing and discharge from the eyes and nose and is invariably fatal.

Initial course: Two injections 3- 4 weeks apart. A booster vaccination is recommended annually to keep immunity topped up.
