Dog Vaccination Schedule – What Every Owner Should Know
Vaccines are more than just “optional extras.” They’re your pet’s first line of defense. At VetPlayas, we make sure your dog is protected at every stage of life — from playful pup to wise senior.
🐶 Puppy Vaccination Timeline (0–4 Months)
Start early! Puppies need a series of vaccines between 6–16 weeks of age:
- 6–8 weeks: Parvovirus, Distemper
- 10–12 weeks: DHPP (combo), Bordetella
- 14–16 weeks: DHPP booster, Rabies (required by law)
Need help keeping track? We send reminders! Book your puppy visit today.
🐕 Adult Dog Vaccine Schedule (1+ Years)
- Yearly: DHPP booster, Bordetella (kennel cough)
- Every 1–3 years: Rabies (as required)
- Optional: Leptospirosis, Lyme, Canine Influenza (based on lifestyle)
If your dog visits dog parks, daycares, or travels, we recommend full coverage.
💉 Why Dog Vaccines Matter
- Prevent deadly diseases like parvo, distemper, and rabies
- Protect other pets and people (some diseases are zoonotic)
- Required for travel, boarding, or dog-friendly hotels
- Cheaper than treating a preventable illness
Vaccinating your dog = protecting your family. Simple as that.
📋 Travel and Cross-Border Vaccine Requirements
