Getting your new pup vaccinated will protect them from common infectious diseases. Without this protection, your dog could develop serious illnesses which could have lasting effects, and even be life-threatening. So it’s important to get your puppy vaccinated at the right time. Core vaccinations are those recommended for all dogs. 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. 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.

Puppies get some protection from infectious diseases, which passed on from their mother. This protection begins to wane in dogs from eight weeks of age so it is advisable to vaccinate at this point. Puppies will require a primary course of vaccinations, this is a course of injections given between the ages of 8-9 weeks and 12-16 weeks of age. The primary course is completed when your dog is a year old and has its first annual booster. Booster vaccinations are then recommended for the rest of the dog’s life although the booster interval varies depending on the vaccine used. Typically an annual booster is advisable, but in some cases the booster interval may be longer depending on your individual pet’s needs and lifestyle. Prior to vaccination it is essential that a thorough examination is carried out by a veterinary surgeon to ensure that the dog is healthy. Annual health examinations are an extremely useful part of looking after your dog.
