Core Vaccinations

Every puppy should be vaccinated against:

  • Parvo
  • Distemper
  • Adenovirus (Infectious Hepatitis)
  • Rabies

These are core vaccines that are administered every 3 weeks from the time a puppy is 6 weeks old and finishing at 18 weeks old. Rabies vaccine can be administered when the pet is 3 months old. Puppies receive this set of vaccinations because no one knows when maternal antibodies lose their effectiveness or when a puppy is capable of producing its own antibodies. It is recommended that puppies receive a full series of these core vaccines, followed by boosters when dogs are a year old.
