What vaccinations does my new puppy need?

Vaccinations for your new puppy are extremely important, as the diseases against which they protect can be be serious and even fatal if contracted.

Parvo is extremely common and extremely deadly to young pups.

Puppies can be vaccinated against a variety of diseases, including parvo virus, distemper, hepatitis, kennel cough and leptospirosis (lepto).

There are different levels of vaccination but for maximum protection we reccomend being vaccinated against all six diseases (a C6 vaccination.)

The typical vaccination schedule is a course of three injections.

First vaccination is at 6-8 Weeks: C3 Vaccination
10-12 Weeks: C6 Vaccination
14-16 Weeks: C6 Vaccination

This course is then followed by annual boosters.
A annual heartworm injection can be given at the last puppy vaccination and at the annual boosters.
