Owner reviews

Ekaterina Semenovna:

"I vaccinated my cat against viral diseases myself. This isn't my first cat, so I know how to administer injections. Malvina was 10 months old at the time, the right age. I dewormed her, bought the Nobivac Triket Trio vaccine, and followed the instructions. After the vaccination, I didn't let her outside for 10 days, closely monitoring her condition. She tolerated the vaccination very well, with absolutely no negative effects. I give the product a solid A."

Angelina Valentinovna:

"We had to vaccinate our cat for the first time when he was four years old, when we moved to the village. He was vaccinated at the veterinary clinic with two Nobivac vaccines—for rabies, rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia. For about a day after the shot, he was a bit dull; maybe he was upset about getting a shot for the first time in his life, or maybe he just wasn't feeling well. But everything turned out well, and now I won't have to worry about my pet catching a virus from his fellow cats while wandering around the village."

Veterinarian Reviews

Petr Ivanovich Streltsov, veterinarian:

"The Nobivac Tricat vaccine stimulates the production of antibodies to the pathogens responsible for these diseases. Its advantages include high efficacy in promoting strong and long-lasting immunity, virtually no side effects, and minimal contraindications. The medication has no therapeutic properties. Furthermore, vaccinating a cat with Nobivac is strictly prohibited if the infection is already present, as it may exacerbate the condition."

Irina Georgievna Kondrashina, veterinarian:

"Nobivac is a high-quality imported vaccine against three dangerous infectious diseases in cats. As a practicing vet, I can say that if the vaccination is performed correctly, according to the instructions, and only to healthy cats, there will be no negative consequences, and the risk of calicivirus, viral rhinotracheitis, and feline distemper will be reduced to zero for the entire year."
