Dog & cat vaccination in Casablanca — the Moroccan schedule

The Moroccan schedule: which vaccines, for whom

In Morocco, rabies vaccination is mandatory for dogs — it also protects your family, as rabies remains fatal and transmissible to humans. Dogs additionally receive the so-called « distemper » combination (C HPP): distemper, Rubarth's hepatitis, parvovirus — dreadful in puppies —, parainfluenza and leptospirosis.

For cats, the protocol protects against cat flu (coryza), highly contagious, feline typhus and leukemia, transmitted between cats by simple contact. The exact schedule depends on your animal's age and lifestyle: an indoor cat and a country dog do not face the same risks. We build this schedule with you from the first visit.

Puppies and kittens: the primary vaccination series

Maternal milk antibodies protect the young animal… but also block the first vaccines: that is why primary vaccination takes several injections, generally from 8 weeks of age, a few weeks apart, with the booster around 4 months.

Between the fading of maternal antibodies and full vaccination, puppies and kittens go through a window of fragility. We adapt the protocol to each litter and advise you meanwhile: avoid places heavily used by other dogs before full protection, keep up deworming, watch appetite and stools.

The vaccination record: far more than a document

Every injection is entered in the vaccination record, with the vaccine, date and the vet's signature. This record is required by boarding kennels and dog clubs, requested for travel and essential for some countries — an animal without an up-to-date record can be refused boarding.

Boosters are tracked there visit after visit: it is the common thread of your pet's follow-up, alongside weight, deworming and antiparasitic treatments. A vaccine given at another clinic still counts — simply bring the record to the first visit.

Boosters tracked by the clinic, not by your memory

A forgotten vaccine is protection that fades away. That is why the clinic tracks boosters with you: the next appointment is scheduled at every visit, and the team reminds you when the time comes. If a delay happens, we re-evaluate the protocol — sometimes a single booster is enough, sometimes the series must restart.

And because vaccination happens during a consultation, every injection is an opportunity for a full clinical exam: a vaccinated animal is an examined, weighed and followed animal. The price of the visit and the vaccine is announced before the act, with no surprises.
