After the Second Vaccine (10-12 weeks old): Your puppy has a bit more protection but is still at risk. At this stage, they can start socializing in controlled environments, such as playdates with fully vaccinated dogs or supervised visits to low-risk areas. Their immune system is still developing, which means they are vulnerable to illnesses commonly found in the environment. Puppies who contract parvo can become seriously ill, so it’s important to be patient and allow their immune system to develop fully before exposing them to the outside world. Starting your puppy on the right vaccination schedule is key to protecting their health, and we make the process simple and stress-free.

After the 2nd DAPPv vaccine, 2 more vaccinations are necessary in order for the puppy to be fully protected.
The first vaccination does NOT provide full immunity.
It is very important for puppies to receive a booster DAPPv vaccine 3 to 4 weeks after the first one.
Three to 4 weeks after the 2nd DAPPv vaccine, a DALPP vaccine is given.
This vaccine contains Leptospirosis in addition.
After the third vaccination, a final DALPP should be administered in 3-4 weeks.
In addition, after 12 weeks of age, puppies must be vaccinated for Rabies according to state law.
Puppies should begin their vaccinations at the age of 6 to 8 weeks.
Prior to 6 weeks of age, they have ample immunity from their mother.
After 6 weeks of age, the mother’s immunity begins to wane, and puppies become much more susceptible to infections.
