What is the Best Vaccination Schedule for a Puppy?

Vaccination is vital to protect your puppy’s health. During the first year, a puppy should be visiting the veterinarian multiple times to get their vaccination shots and be safe from easily preventable infectious diseases. For example, Parvo is a disease that can be fatal but can easily be avoided if proper vaccination happens at the right time.

Build up your puppy’s immunity

Shots should be administered to the puppy on time to ensure maximum protection and immunity.

Here is an example of a shot schedule and record for a past litter of ours (the dates will be tailored to your specific litter):

Do not bring your puppy to a public place (including your front yard or for a walk) until he/she has had his/her 16-week shot. Do not take your puppy jogging until your pup is fully grown.
