Puppies have some protection from disease in their first few weeks of life, from the antibodies in their mother’s milk. These antibodies will fall, so pups need to develop their own immunity through vaccination. Most puppies should get the first of their core vaccinations from six weeks of age. They should receive a second vaccine two to four weeks later, depending on the puppy’s age and the vaccine brand. Vaccinations can take days or weeks to be fully effective – your vet will be able to tell you more. Until your puppy’s vaccinations have taken effect, you won’t be able to take them for walks outside. Core vaccinations are those recommended for all dogs, and include vaccinations against diseases such as canine parvovirus, canine distemper, canine adenovirus type 1 and 2, and leptospirosis. Your vet may suggest extras, depending on your lifestyle and plans. Speak to your vet about best timings for your pup, and they’ll need to see your puppy’s vaccination paperwork.

You should keep your puppy inside and away for unvaccinated dogs until it has been fully vaccinated. At eight weeks old – a puppy should have their first set of vaccinations. At 12 weeks old – a puppy’s second set of vaccinations are needed to boost their immune system. A puppy will needs a ‘booster’ vaccination 12 months after the his second vaccination and every year thereafter. In certain cases we can vaccinate puppies as young as 6 weeks. Each puppy is given a full health check by a veterinary surgeon prior to vaccination. In the case of a primary course where two injections are needed, a qualified Veterinary Nurse can administer the second vaccination. The price of health check and primary puppy vaccinations is £100.00 for the 2 sets of injections which are administered 4 weeks apart.

Puppies are typically vaccinated at eight and ten weeks with the second dose usually being given two to four weeks later. Your puppy will then require a booster vaccination at 6 or 12 months. Speak to your vet about the best timings. The diseases they protect against include Canine distemper, Canine parvovirus, Kennel cough, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza. Your vet is always the best source of information on the vaccinations and treatments your new puppy will need. If you adopt a puppy or dog from us, we'll have already given them initial vaccinations. You should still register with your vet, and talk to them about additional vaccines in the future. Different vaccines last for different lengths of time, as immunity can weaken. Your vet will provide you with a vaccination record, which you'll need to keep safe.
