Vaccination Schedule
(See you tube video for more information on how to administer the vaccine)
Dogs
Your new puppy will needs a series of vaccinations in the first year of life to protect him from many dangerous diseases as his immune system develops.
Different veterinarians recommend slightly different vaccination schedules and vaccines according to the specific dog’s risk factors.
Your vet can be more specific about the vaccination needs based on your individual dog, the particular region of the country in which you live, and your individual circumstances. In general, however, the first-year vaccination schedule for puppies usually resembles the schedule in the table here.
