Vaccination Requirements for Your Dogs

Depending on where you are located, certain infections may be more or less common. Dog Vaccination Requirement: Our veterinarian will assess the risks and benefits based on specific lifestyle requirements for
your dogs and advise you appropriately. Vaccination plans vary depending on your local area as
well as the product and form of vaccination that your vet brings.

🛡️ Protect Your Dog with These Shots!

Why do dogs need multiple vaccinations?

Newborn animals have not yet had the chance to develop their immunity, so they need
protection against infection. They are receiving immunity from their mother’s immunity, which is
only temporary. Steadily declining over the first few weeks of life, and pretty much gone
by twelve weeks. The rate of decline varies depending on many factors. This is why the dog must
undergo 3 vaccinations from six to sixteen weeks of age.

When can I take my puppy out after having a vaccine?

It cannot be guaranteed that your puppy will develop complete immunity from diseases that are
vaccinated for up to 10-14 days after our recommended third vaccine. Nevertheless, the
socialisation of your puppy at this age is especially important. This is the same time when they
are at the highest risk of infection with the disease, especially parvovirus.

You should avoid public areas such as parks and beaches until your dog finishes the
vaccination program. Your puppy should only socialise around animals that are verified to be
fully vaccinated or free from parvovirus, in a setting you understand.

Do the vaccinations have 100% protection?

Vaccines have been extremely successful in safeguarding the majority of dogs from diseases
such as distemper, which was once common but is now rare, but there are situations in which
Immunity conferred by a vaccine can be overcome, and a vaccinated dog can still develop a
disease. In such instances, the infection was usually milder than it would have been if your pet
had not been vaccinated.
