When do puppies usually get vaccinated

When a soft and cute puppy comes into our lives, it is like a little sun, warming our daily life. The healthy growth of puppies is the most concerned thing for every owner, and vaccination is undoubtedly an important defense line on the road to healthy growth of puppies. Knowing when puppies are usually vaccinated is the first step for owners to provide them with comprehensive protection.

In the first few weeks after birth, puppies mainly rely on breast milk to obtain maternal antibodies, which can provide early immune protection to puppies to a certain extent. But as the puppy grows, the level of maternal antibodies will gradually decrease, and around 6-8 weeks of age, the protective effect of maternal antibodies against some common infectious diseases becomes extremely limited. At this point, puppies need to establish their own immune system and resist the invasion of external pathogens through vaccination.

At 6-8 weeks of age, puppies are usually vaccinated with the first dose of the multi valent vaccine. Multi dose vaccines can prevent various infectious diseases, such as canine distemper, canine parvovirus disease, canine infectious hepatitis, etc. These diseases pose a great threat to the health of puppies, and once infected, puppies may face life-threatening situations. When we took our little puppy to the pet hospital for the first dose of vaccine, looking at its small body, our hearts were filled with worry and anticipation. Worried about whether the vaccination process will make it uncomfortable, hoping that this injection can provide a protective umbrella for its health.

2-4 weeks after the first dose of the multi valent vaccine, which is 8-12 weeks of age for puppies, a second dose of the multi valent vaccine is required. The purpose of this injection is to further stimulate the puppy's immune system, causing it to produce a stronger immune response, thereby enhancing its resistance to diseases. Every time we take our puppy to get vaccinated, it's like adding bricks and tiles to its healthy growth. We hope to build a strong health fortress for it through these small vaccines.

When puppies are 12-16 weeks old, they should receive the third dose of the multi valent vaccine. At this point, the basic multi dose vaccination for puppies has been basically completed. After completing basic immunity, the puppy's immune system has been preliminarily established and can produce effective immune responses to various common infectious diseases. But this does not mean the end of vaccination work, and regular booster shots are still needed afterwards.

In addition to multiple vaccines, rabies vaccine is also an important vaccine that puppies must receive. The rabies vaccine can generally be administered to puppies over 3 months of age, which is the key to preventing rabies. Rabies is a highly lethal disease that not only poses a huge threat to the safety of puppies, but can also be transmitted to humans. So, timely vaccination of puppies against rabies is not only responsible for the safety of the puppies, but also for the safety of their families and those around them.

The companionship and care of the owner are crucial during the vaccination process for puppies. Every time you go to the pet hospital, the gentle comfort and encouragement from the owner can make the puppy feel at ease in unfamiliar environments. We can speak softly to it before vaccination, stroke its head, and let it relax; After vaccination, prepare some favorite snacks for it to reward its bravery.

It is our duty as owners to understand the vaccination time for puppies and strictly follow the scientific immunization program to vaccinate them. Every vaccination is a safeguard we provide for the healthy growth of our puppies. Let us use professional knowledge and full of love to accompany puppies to grow up healthy, spend countless wonderful times together, and witness their growth from immature puppies to lively and healthy companions.
