Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to promote the vaccination of pets.
Pet owners are strongly advised by the chief veterinary officer to consider vaccinating their pets to prevent diseases which can prove to be fatal. They should consult their private vet for advice based on the individual pet’s risk and circumstances. General advice on vaccination can be obtained from a number of sources including from the National Office of Animal Health.
