The veterinary vaccination is one of the most effective measures to preventing serious infectious diseases in dogs and cats and protect their short- and long-term health. A proper vaccination schedule helps to reduce individual and collective risks, especially in puppies, senior animals or pets with higher exposure.
At Benivet Benissa we establish personalised vaccination plansadapted to the age, lifestyle, environment and health status of each pet, following up-to-date, evidence-based veterinary recommendations.

The veterinary vaccination is essential to protect your pet against serious infectious diseases. With a proper vaccination schedule, we not only ensure their well-being, but also prevent pathologies that could affect their long-term health.
At Benivet BenissaWe design a personalised vaccination schedule according to the age, lifestyle and risks to which your pet is exposed. We offer vaccines for dogs, cats and other species, adapted to their specific needs.
Some common vaccines include:
In dogs: distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, leptospirosis.
In cats: panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, feline leukaemia.
In other pets: species-specific vaccinations
During the vaccination visit, we can also combine it with complementary services, such as the preventive medicine service or the internal/external deworming serviceThis allows for a holistic approach to health. In addition, we collaborate, where necessary, with the clinical analyses to ensure that your pet is in optimal condition before administering certain vaccinations.
Vaccination is an essential preventive measure that should be adapted to the age, environment and lifestyle of each pet.
Not all animals require exactly the same vaccination schedule. The protocol should be tailored to each pet’s age, medical history, lifestyle and risk of exposure.
Before recommending a vaccine, we consider factors such as:
Age and previous vaccinations: We check the vaccination record or history to see which doses have been administered and which may still be outstanding. If this is your first visit to the clinic, please also check What to bring to your first appointment with your dog or cat.
Lifestyle: A cat that lives exclusively indoors is not at the same risk as one that has access to the outdoors, nor is a dog that is only walked in its usual surroundings at the same risk as one that frequents parks, residential areas, dog shows or areas with lots of other animals.
Contact with other animals: Living with other dogs or cats, day-care centres, boarding facilities and certain activities may alter the animal’s safety requirements.
Place of residence and travel: Some vaccinations may be particularly important depending on where your pet lives or travels. For international travel, it is also important to check the requirements of the European pet passport.
General state of health: Before vaccinating, we carry out a veterinary check-up to check that the animal is in good health. If it has a fever, is vomiting, has diarrhoea, is listless or is showing any other symptoms, it may be necessary to first carry out a veterinary practice and postpone vaccination.
Advanced age or chronic illnesses: For older animals or those with health problems, the vaccination schedule is reviewed on a case-by-case basis to tailor the protection to their clinical condition.
The aim is not to administer as many vaccinations as possible, but to ensure adequate protection through a vaccination schedule tailored to the actual needs of each dog or cat.
Not sure if your pet’s vaccinations are up to date? Bring their vaccination card or veterinary records and we’ll go through their history with you.

Stool analysis/coprological testswhen there is recurrent diarrhoea, suspicion of parasites or to adjust prevention in young animals or animals with digestive symptoms.
Vaccination is most effective when accompanied by a good deworming plan: we coordinate it with veterinary deworming depending on the environment (countryside, beach, contact with other animals) and the time of year.
If your pet has a chronic illness or requires long-term follow-up, we will coordinate the plan from veterinary internal medicine to adjust the pattern and prevention safely.
