Vaccines
Canine Vaccination Schedule
- At six weeks, we start the initial puppy vaccinations along with deworming. We may also send you home with information about heartworm prevention and flea and tick medications.
- At nine weeks, your puppy will need another vaccination and more deworming medication.
- At twelve weeks, your puppy will be old enough for his or her first Rabies vaccination and will also need a distemper booster.
- At fifteen to sixteen weeks, your puppy should receive his or her last booster vaccination.
- At six to eight months, your puppy will be ready to be spayed or neutered.
- After your pet has had all the boosters, he or she will be due for vaccinations every year and may also be able to start to receive some of the vaccinations every three years, though you should still get a yearly checkup done. We also recommend continuing heartworm preventative and flea and tick medication year-round to keep your puppy healthy.
NOTICE
If your dog is on prescription drugs, he or she may be required to have a checkup/bloodwork done every 6 months. This helps ensure that prescriptions are doing their job, with no side effects. That is one way we care for your pets, but also a Federal Law for some drugs. Ask your vet if you have any questions.
