At What Age Do Puppies Need Their Vaccinations?

They can have a Parvo shot at 5 wks old but usually they get their first puppy series shot at 7-8 wks old. The series is 3 shots, you can do it your self for about $5 each instead of the $25-$30 at the vet. Check your local livestock supply to see if they have dog vaccine, otherwise you can order it from Drs Foster and Smith vet supply.

Puppies usually receive their vaccinations just after weaning. They have them every three weeks until they are 15 weeks of age. They need these vaccinations early, as at birth they are not born with many antibodies so they are easily susceptible to diseases.

They are usually vaccinated for Parvo, Hepatitis, Distemper and Parainfluenza. Puppies are also vaccinated against Rabies when they are 4 months old. After that they need to be done every 12 months.

Vaccinations are really important as they stop your dog from becoming ill and potentially from dying. Some diseases can be contagious and so it is always best to vaccinate your puppy in case they come into contact with an infected dog. Diseases can be picked up anywhere so vaccinating your puppy is vital.

Vaccinations are not very expensive so there is no excuse for not having them up to date. All costs for the puppy should be thought of before buying one and vaccinations should be added to the overall costs.

Sometimes they will start at 6 weeks and that is most often a parvo vaccine and some breeds are very prone like Pit's, Rott's and Dobie's though they are not the only ones. Whether or not that's done they usually start around 8 weeks and receive vaccines every 3 to 4 weeks until around 4 or 5 months (though Rabies may be done the first time around 6 months) so that we know one worked. Do not take your puppy out in public until the vet advises you because just because they received a vaccine or two or whatever does not mean they are protected. While you are waiting you can work pn getting your pup comfortable on a leash at hime since they should not be dragged and it should be a positive experience. There are some vaccines which may be given at certain ages depending on lifestyle, needs, and area like the lyme vaccine if your dog may be exposed to ticks. Your vet will advise you of their schedule, and which vaccines are recommended and when.

First immunizations should be at 6 weeks. They should be dewormed at 3, 6, and 9, weeks. There are a series of boosters after the first set of shots that should be scheduled at 9 and 12 weeks. The rabies vaccination needs to be given at around 16 weeks.

Nursing puppies don't need vaccination because mother milk contain immunity against many infection. This immunity tends to decrease in puppies after 6-20 weeks of age. That is why dogs should be given protection during this period of age. So, vaccination in puppies should begin at the age of 6-8 weeks and continue to 14-16 weeks of age.

Generally at about eight to twelve weeks.. Or a couple of weeks after they've finished nursing.

6 weeks old

I had my pups second jab at 11 weeks, his 3rd is due at 15 weeks. I thought all was well then found out the breeder never had his first at 8 weeks done. How can I put this right and when should he have his rabies jab?

They get their shots at 8 and 10 weeks and are allowed outside at 12 weeks. Hope this helps.

8 weeks and 12 weeks is normally when to do it

My vet said about 8 weeks.

Usually at the ages of 8-9 weeks.

It is best to get them as soon as possible.

They can get the first shot when they are 2 months

Call the SPCA to make sure about that, they'll be happy to let you know. They do the shots, and the spay and neuter on animals, it's cheaper than a regular vet. Hope this helps, good luck.
