Puppy inoculations are designed to give protection against Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Canine Parvovirus, Leptospirosis.
At eight weeks old – a puppy should have their first set of vaccinations (Primary).
In certain cases we can vaccinate puppies as young as 6 weeks.
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.
Kennel cough vaccinations can be administered separately or in conjunction with other dog vaccines.
We recommend these vaccination if dogs are going into kennels or if they meet lots of other dogs in the park.
Rabies vaccination is not required in the UK and is only needed if you wish to take your pet abroad.

The second puppy vaccination can be administered from 10 weeks onwards and at least two weeks after your puppy’s first vaccination. Many breeders will tell you that the 2nd vaccine needs to be exactly the same brand as the first vaccine. One week after your puppy’s second vaccination your pup is free to go on their first walk on the pavement, an adventure to the park and to socialise freely with other dogs. Afterwards, your dog will require yearly booster vaccinations to make sure your pup stays protected for life.
A vaccination against kennel cough is highly recommended at the same stage as the second puppy vaccination and flea and worm treatment. Leptospirosis is a rare disease in the UK spread via rat urine. Vaccination is recommended using either a 2-valent or a 4-valent vaccine. These are part of the primary puppy vaccination course but the timings vary slightly dependent on which vaccine is used. The rabies vaccination isn’t required for puppies that live only in the UK.

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. Vaccinations protect your pup from the following nasty diseases: 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. Speak to your vet about the best timings. 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.

Core vaccinations are those recommended for all dogs. Vaccinations against the diseases listed below are generally recommended for all dogs. Canine parvovirus is a highly-contagious and often-fatal virus that causes severe illness with signs such as vomiting and bloody diarrhoea. Canine distemper is a viral disease which can cause severe, and often fatal, pneumonia and encephalitis. Canine adenovirus type 1 and 2 can cause severe and fatal hepatitis as well as upper airway inflammation. Leptospirosis is an infection that can cause liver and kidney failure. Additional vaccinations include Bordetella bronchiseptica and parainfluenza for kennel cough, and rabies, a severe and fatal viral disease, for dogs traveling abroad. Your vet may suggest extras, depending on your lifestyle and plans.
