Understanding Vaccination Schedules for Puppies

Vaccinations protect puppies from life‑threatening diseases during their most vulnerable months. Here is a simple schedule to follow.

Core Vaccinations

Core vaccines typically include Distemper, Parvovirus, Adenovirus, and Rabies. Your vet may also recommend Leptospirosis based on local risk.

Suggested Timeline

6–8 weeks: First DHPP shot. 10–12 weeks: Second DHPP. 14–16 weeks: Third DHPP + Rabies. Annual boosters thereafter.

Always consult your veterinarian to personalize the schedule for your pet’s age, health, and lifestyle.
