Take Care Of Your Puppy With The Right Vaccines

​Owning a puppy is a big responsibility. It is of utmost importance to protect the pup from sickness and other risks. During the first several months, there are vaccinations (shots) that your pet must have to ensure overall good health.
​The Standard Puppy Shot
These series of vaccines for your puppy normally begins from 6 to 8 weeks old. After every 3 to 4 weeks, new boosters and shots are administered, up to the time the pet reaches 17 weeks old. 

However, puppy shot series are not the same for all types of dog breeds. For example, the tan and black breeds may require boosters up to 20 weeks of age. Your vet will tell you what kinds of vaccinations your specific puppy needs and when. 

The following are factors that determine the date and frequency of the puppy shots:
  • The status of immunity and vaccination of the dog mom.
  • The duration that the puppy was nursed.
  • What shots did the puppy has from the shelter, breeder, or from its original location.
  • The number of puppies in the litter.
  • The level of cleanliness of the place the puppy came from.
  • The age of the puppy.

Vaccines For Puppies Are Long-Term
When your puppy has completed the initial series of vaccines, it does not stop there. Throughout the life of your dog, it will need some booster shots. The lifestyle of the dog, the way it lives within your care, the frequency of its travel, are among the factors that determine the types and intervals of these boosters.

What Vaccines Are Important For Puppies
  • Core Vaccines. There are certain diseases of dogs that can be infectious and fatal. These include rabies, canine hepatitis, distemper, and parvo. Core vaccines can prevent the occurrence of these conditions. 
  • Non-core Vaccines. These kinds of vaccines are not always recommended to puppies to due to various reasons. The condition of the puppy could be less risky, or in limited distribution. Having non-core vaccines, your puppy can avoid parainfluenza, influenza, lepto, kennel cough, and Lyme disease.

While the puppy shots cannot guarantee the optimal health of your pet, they can greatly help lower the risks of infections and its longevity.

Your best source of correct information is your vet. They have the expertise and have completed the necessary medical training. 

Conclusion
Take care of your new puppy the best way that you can. Since your pet is part of your family, review your homeowner's insurance to see if it covers your pet.  At Berlin & Denys Insurance, we take pride in making sure that our clients are well-protected at prices they can afford.

Thanks for pointing out that vaccines can help protect your puppy from illnesses. I want my new puppy to stay healthy, so I'm thinking about taking him to a veterinarian to get vaccinated soon. I'm going to look for a good veterinarian in my area that offers pet vaccinations.

It's awesome that you elaborate on how vaccines can help protect dogs from diseases. I just adopted a puppy this week, so I'm thinking about taking him to a veterinarian soon to get vaccinated. I'm going to search for a good veterinary clinic in my area that offers pet vaccinations.
