Vaccination Schedule for Puppies and Dogs
Distemper….. An airborne viral disease of the lungs, intestines and brain
Hepatitis….. A viral disease of the liver
Parainfluenza… An infectious bronchitis
Parvovirus….. A viral disease of the intestines
Leptospirosis… A bacterial disease of the urinary tract
Rabies….. A viral disease fatal to humans and other animals
Corona….. A viral disease of the intestines
Bordatella… A bacterial infection of the upper respiratory system (kennel
Cough)
Puppies
6 weeks first puppy shot (DHPP) No Lepto We Give all puppies their first Vaccination here.
10 weeks… second puppy shot (DHPPL) + Corona
14 weeks……… third puppy shot (DHPPL) + Corona
18 weeks......fourth puppy shot (DHPPL) + Corona
Over 4 months… Rabies (repeat 1 year later) Then its good for three years
7-9 months……… first heartworm test I would only do this if your vet thinks it’s a problem in your area (its not a problem here my vet doesn’t recommend it)
Bordatella would need to be given if you are around other dogs like at a dog park ect or if you are going to board the puppy at a facility
Adult Dogs (after 1 year)
DHLPP…… Yearly and if you live in an area that requires you vaccinate against Corona then you would give DHLLP_C instead.
Heartworm Test Yearly
Rabies Every three years (after 2nd shot)
Bordatella. Yearly if needed
Vaccinations work on a 4-week release cycle they build immunity each week then after the 4th week there isn’t any more benefit so then you would vaccinate for the 2nd time. The puppy would be protected for another 4 weeks The the 3rd puppy vaccination would be given. ( NOTE: some Vets recomend a series of 4 vaccinations as do I for my own precious babies.) The 4th puppy booster is given and is good for 1 year.
After the year is up the adult dog needs to vaccinated once yearly thereafter.
I will actually write in the due dates on the health record also.
