Vaccination Schedule For Your New Pup

As a veterinarian as well as a breeder, I cannot emphasize enough the need to protect your new family member from the common infectious and parasitic diseases that he or she may be exposed to.  Whenever possible, prevention of disease is far less costly (both emotionally and financially) than having to treat your pet for a condition that could have been prevented. Below is a detailed vaccination and deworming schedule that I use and recommend, as a minimum, to ensure that your pet has the best protection possible to resist the common diseases they may encounter.

In addition, some veterinarians find that an additional parvo booster, administered at age 20 weeks, is beneficial under certain circumstances.
