Vaccines for Puppies & Dogs

Did you know you should not let your puppies meet and mingle with other dogs before they complete their puppy vaccination schedule? All this information and other vaccination needs are offered at Fraser Valley Animal Hospital. Our expert veterinarians will guide you and build a vaccination schedule catered to meet your canine’s needs.

What core vaccines do puppies and dogs need?

Some core vaccines your canine pal must receive are:

• Rabies
• Distemper
• Adenovirus-2
• Parvovirus
• Bordetella
• Parainfluenza

When should puppies receive their first vaccine?

Puppies require a series of vaccinations during the first four months of their life. They should receive their first set of vaccines at 6 to 8-weeks-of-age.

Why does my dog need booster shots of the same vaccine?

While vaccines are effective in preventing diseases, their protection ability can decline over time. This is why veterinarians suggest that your dog receive booster shots on a regular basis.
