Vaccination Schedule for Dogs
By: Tippy



In the USA, every dog is recommended to have vaccinations
for the three diseases listed below and probably several
other types of canine diseases. If you live outside the USA,
there may be other diseases that are not listed here that
are dangerous to dogs in your area, please consult your
veterinarian.

Rabies: In the United States, the majority of states require
Rabies vaccination, and some also require revaccination
every year, others may require it every two or three years.

Parvovirus: For puppies, after the first vaccination, an
injection at 20 weeks is sometimes needed. If an adult dog
didn't get its puppy DHLP-P inoculations, two vaccinations
should be given three weeks apart. And because there are new
outbreaks of Parvovirus, an additional Parvo booster is
recommended yearly. Rottweilers and Dobermans are especially
sensitive to Parvovirus and are recommended to receive
boosters every six months for the first two years.

Hepatitis: Protects against canine adenovirus type I and II.

Six to Eight Weeks:

- Bordetella
- Distemper/Corona vaccine
- Heartworm preventive pill
- Hepatitis
- Intestinal parasite screen
- Parainfluenza
- Parvovirus
- Strategic de-worming (for intestinal parasites)

Ten to Twelve Weeks:

- Distemper/Corona vaccine
- Heartworm preventive pill
- Hepatitis
- Intestinal parasite screen
- Intranasal Bordatella vaccine
- Leptospirosis
- Lyme disease vaccine (only for dogs at high risk)
- Parainfluenza
- Parvovirus
- Strategic de-worming (for intestinal parasites)

Fourteen to Sixteen Weeks:

- Bordetella
- Distemper vaccine
- Heartworm preventive pill
- Hepatitis
- Leptospirosis
- Lyme disease vaccine (only for dogs at high risk)
- One-year Rabies vaccine
- Parainfluenza
- Parvovirus
- Strategic de-worming (for intestinal parasites)

Vaccines that your veterinarian may recommend, depending on
your individual dog as well as where you live, include
Rabies, Canine Bordetella (Kennel Cough), Corona,
Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, Leptospirosis, Hepatitis,
Distemper, and Lyme Disease. You may also need to ask tour
veterinarian about Heartworm and other parasite prevention.

Never take your dog to be vaccinated if it is ill, injured
or unhealthy in some way. If the dog's immune system is
overwhelmed or compromised, its body will not be able to
properly produce protective levels of antibodies.
