puppy is an exciting and joyous time, but starting your puppy off with a healthy lifestyle means getting the proper vaccinations. You’ll want to make a visit to your veterinarian as soon as possible to determine your puppy’s needs.
Scheduling Vaccinations
In the first three months of your puppy's life, your veterinarian will probably want to see your puppy every two or three weeks for vaccinations.
Initial vaccinations for many diseases start at about six weeks and are repeated every two to three weeks until your puppy reaches 14 weeks of age.Vaccination Boosters
After six months, veterinary visits will probably taper off. You'll need boosters at regular intervals. Vaccination protocols may vary so be sure to follow your veterinarian's recommended immunization schedule.
