Vaccinations
Vaccinations are very important to enable protection against serious and often fatal diseases, so be sure to get you pup vaccinated when they’re due. In most instances your pup will have had its first 6 week vaccination by the time you get it home. Once it’s had the 10-12 week vaccination it can go out and about safely, however for reasons of duration of immunity it will also require a 14-16 week injection. The Eltham Veterinary Practice vaccination regime for puppys is below:
- 6-8 weeks Distemper, Hepatitis & Parvovirus
- 10-12 weeks Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza & Bordatella
- 14-12 weeks Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus & Parainfluenza
- ADULTS Annual boosters are required to maintain immunity.
** At Eltham Veterinary Practice we always use an oral Canine Cough Vaccine, which gives better immunity and avoids pain from the vaccine injection and vaccine site reactions.
