We can start protecting our puppies from killer diseases with vaccinations from 6 weeks of age, and adults at any age.
The main or “Core” Vaccinations for our Canine Companions would be:
- Canine Parvovirus
- Canine Distemper Virus
- Canine Adenovirus (infections hepatitis)
- Leptospirosis
Other Vaccinations that would be thought of as non-core would be:
- Bordetella – an upper respiratory disease, dogs that go to shows or into kennels may need this.
- Parainfluenza – an upper respiratory disease, dogs that go to shows or into kennels may need this.
- Rabies -required for travel abroad.
Bordetella and Parainfluenza are part of what is known as Kennel Cough Syndrome.
