Puppy Vaccination Schedule
Puppies need to begin their vaccination series at six weeks of age and should continue receiving vaccinations at 3 week intervals until they reach sixteen weeks of age. This will allow your pup's immune system to produce enough immunity to fight off infectious diseases.
Checking puppies for worms and deworming them properly helps the puppy grow, and use it's food better. It also prevents diarrhea, which often occurs in puppies with intestinal worms.
This schedule should be kept as close as possible so that we can properly immunize your pup. Proper timing of vaccinations is important. We will send you periodic reminders in the mail. Below is the schedule we recommend:
| 6 WEEKS | Physical Examination DHPP vaccine Fecal examination for intestinal worms Deworming (if necessary) |
| 9 WEEKS | Physical Examination DHPP vaccine Second deworming (if necessary) Begin Heartworm Prevention |
| 12 WEEKS | Physical Examination DHLPP vaccine Rabies vaccine Follow-up fecal examination (if necessary) |
| 16 WEEKS | Physical Examination DHLPP vaccine Canine cough vaccine |
Your pet's continued good health is our number one concern!
