• Puppies should receive their first vaccinations between 6 and 8 weeks of age.The vaccine given at this time is a combination of distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus (CDV + CPV-2 + CAV-2). 

• Following the first vaccination, puppies require booster vaccines every 3 to 4 weeks, with the final dose at 4 months of age. A minimum of 3 vaccines during puppyhood is highly recommended to protect your puppy from potentially deadly diseases.

• Rabies vaccine can be given starting at 12 weeks of age, and then repeated in 1 year. Following the first year, a 3 year vaccine is available for dogs that are current on all vaccinations.
