Puppies are particularly vulnerable to serious diseases like parvovirus and canine distemper, so it’s vital they receive their initial course of three vaccinations. Puppies should receive their first vaccinations at eight weeks, and it’s common for them to have these via the breeder. They should then receive their second set of vaccinations at 12 weeks, and their third at 16 weeks. Annual booster vaccinations are needed throughout your dog’s life to maintain their protection from harmful disease. The booster vaccinations dogs require are: Boosters for distemper, parvovirus and canine hepatitis every three years. Boosters for leptospirosis and kennel cough every year. Your vet will be able to assess the individual needs of your pet based on their age, overall health and lifestyle to ensure they receive the right vaccinations.
