Puppy and Kitten Vaccines

 

Puppies and kittens require a series of vaccinations during their first four months of life. Nursing pups and kittens receive antibodies from their mother’s milk (maternal antibodies) which protect them from disease during the first months of life. These same antibodies can prevent a vaccine from being totally effective. Consequently, as maternal antibodies decrease.

*First vaccines are given 6-8 weeks, second boosters 12 weeks and finals boosters at 16 weeks of age**

Your breeder may do those first boosters and deworming but we recommend doing deworming at every visit with your new puppy or kitten as internal parasites are very common in new puppies and kittens.

DA2PP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza): given at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks. Yearly boosters

Rabies: Is given in the final set of vaccines, needs yearly booster to start.
Puppies will need to be vaccinated for Da2pp in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Rabies is done at the 3rd (16 weeks of age)

It can be transmitted at off-leash parks, walking on the street, or in kennels, wherever there is direct contact with other dogs.
