Vaccinating your puppy

Vaccinating your puppy is crucial for their health and well-being. Here’s what you need to know:

1. When to Vaccinate:
   • Puppies are typically vaccinated at eight and ten weeks (although they can be vaccinated as early as four to six weeks).
   • The second dose is usually given two to four weeks later.
   • Your puppy will then require a booster vaccination at 6 or 12 months.
   • As your puppy grows into an adult dog, it’s essential to keep their vaccinations up to date.
2. Diseases Vaccinations Protect Against:
   • Core vaccinations protect your pup from the following nasty diseases:
     • Canine distemper
     • Canine parvovirus
     • Kennel cough
     • Leptospirosis
     • Parainfluenza
3. Who Can Vaccinate Your Puppy:
   • Register with your local vet, who will carry out the vaccinations your puppy needs.
   • Your vet is the best source of information on vaccinations and treatments for your new puppy.
4. Cost of Puppy Vaccinations:
   • Costs can vary depending on the vaccines given and timing.
   • However, they are usually far less than treatment for the diseases they prevent.
5. Vaccination Record:
   • Your vet will provide you with a vaccination record, which you should keep safe.
6. Rehomed Puppies:
   • If you adopt a puppy from a charity or animal home, they will have already received initial vaccinations.
   • Register with your vet and discuss additional vaccines for the future.

Remember, protecting your new puppy through vaccinations is essential. 🐾🌟 If you have any specific concerns, consult your vet—they’re your trusted partner in your puppy’s health journey! 🐶💕
