Citizens who want to take a pet (dog, cat) abroad should contact the National Food Agency - Tbilisi Department (Marshal Gelovani No. 6) under the Ministry of Agriculture.

Most often, vaccination of puppies and kittens begins at 8-9 weeks, revaccination after 3-4 weeks. In some cases, the schedule is changed. In case of risk of parvovirus enteritis, you can vaccinate a puppy from 6 weeks old using special vaccines for puppies (Nobivak Pappi DP). Rabies vaccinations start at 3 months. Before vaccination of puppies, deworming is mandatory. Check with your veterinarian about the timing of your puppy's vaccinations or kittens' vaccinations.

The timing of vaccination depends on the type of vaccine, the age of initiation of vaccination, the epizootic situation, the condition of the pet. The vaccination schedule for puppies and vaccinations for kittens is different from that of adult pets.

Dogs are vaccinated against the following diseases:

Vaccinations for kittens (cat vaccinations) are done against the following diseases:

The vaccines are administered to clinically healthy animals. If your pet is outdoors, it is advisable to vaccinate dogs and cats under normal weather conditions to minimize the chances of a cold. For 7-10 days it is necessary to carry out deworming.

A microchip is an animal's “electronic passport”. If the pet is lost, then those who found it, by the registration number of the chip, will be able to find the owner's data. If the pet was stolen, then it becomes possible to prove that it belongs to you.

Chipping a cat is equivalent to a subcutaneous injection. The microchip is very small, so it does not cause pain or discomfort. You can chip a cat at any age.

Chipping dogs has no contraindications. All modern microchips are made of biocompatible materials, so there is no rejection, inflammation or allergic reactions to the chip. Chipping dogs is possible at any age.

Allergies can also cause itching in cats, but not necessarily to food. The cause of itching is most often fleas, even if the cat lives at home and you do not see parasites on it.

This skin condition after a haircut can be caused by an allergic reaction to cosmetics, a bacterial or fungal infection if the skin is damaged. It can also be ectoparasites (for example, fleas).

Of course, the probability of an ear mite in a matched kitten is high, but brown crusts can appear in the ears not only with otodectosis (ear mite). A kitten can have a number of other parasitic and infectious diseases, so it's best to show it to your veterinarian.

You can wash your kitten's ears with ear lotion from the pet store. To clean the kitten's ears - pour the lotion into both ears, then massage the ears at the base and release the kitten for a while - let him shake his head for a while. Then take a cotton swab or damp cloth and remove any remaining secretions.

Brushing a dog's teeth is almost impossible without anesthesia. Local anesthesia has no sedative effect, and it will be difficult for your pet to sit with his mouth open for more than half an hour.

It all depends on the complexity of the operation, drugs and the condition of the pet. We use modern methods of anesthesia and the recovery period after anesthesia is short. After the operation, we observe the animals in the hospital, and return them to the owners only when they are completely out of anesthesia.

Weight is not a contraindication to anesthesia. Before carrying out operations or procedures requiring anesthesia, the veterinarian examines the pet and prescribes the necessary examinations. The doctor calculates the dose of anesthetic based on the weight and characteristics of the pet. After anesthesia, until complete recovery from anesthesia, the animal is in the hospital, under the supervision of the staff of the veterinary clinic. If the pet is healthy, there are no complications during or after anesthesia.

Cat neutering is carried out at any age, but the most optimal age is 6-8 months. According to statistics, sterilization carried out before the first estrus significantly reduces the risk of breast tumors.

It is best to sterilize before the dog's first heat, but no later than the third. It is in this case that the risk of breast tumors is significantly reduced. The optimal age is 6-8 months. But in the future, age will not be a contraindication for sterilization - in any case, the risk of developing genital diseases after the operation will be reduced.
