Overview
Protecting your puppy against life-threatening diseases is one of the most important things you need to do. While your puppy is growing up big and strong, vaccines keep them safe from serious and often life-threatening diseases like parvovirus, distemper, leptospirosis, and infectious canine hepatitis.
Puppy vaccinations are split into two categories, core and non-core. Core vaccinations are vaccines that are recommended for all dogs. Non-core vaccinations are additional vaccines that protect against certain diseases your dog may or may not be at risk of.
1. First vaccination: 6–10 weeks old
2. Second vaccination: 10–14 weeks old
3. Third vaccination (if needed): 14–18 weeks old
Booster: 6 months old
4. Booster: 12 months old
5. Annual boosters: every year for life
