Our vaccination & deworming protocol
Our protocol
We have worked closely with our veterinarian to develop a vaccination and deworming protocol for our adult dogs and puppies.
Our dams receive an approved parasite treatment to prevent the transmission of internal parasites to puppies near the end of their pregnancy therefore we start deworming when puppies are 4 weeks old.
4 weeks of age
- neopar vaccination
- pyrantal deworming treatment
6 weeks of age
- DAPPV vaccination given by our veterinarian
- Safeguard deworming treatment for 3-5 days
8 weeks of age
- Safeguard deworming treatment for 5 days
Your puppy will NOT be full vaccinated when you get it therefore it will NOT be fully protected against the deadly diseases of Parvo and Distemper.
Your puppy must receive a series of vaccinations or boosters before they are fully vaccinated.
Standard vaccination protocol
Below is a standard vaccination schedule of additional vaccinations that your puppy will need. Your vets schedule may differ slightly and may include additional vaccines for diseases such as Bordetella.
9 weeks of age
- DAPPV vaccination booster
12 weeks of age
- DAPPV or DAPPV with lepto vaccination
15 weeks of age
- DAPPV or DAPPV with lepto vaccination
- Rabies vaccination
Parvo and Distemper are deadly diseases that are transmitted from dog to dog or in fecal material.
Unquestionably you should NOT take your puppy anywhere that they could come in contact with an unvaccinated dog or fecal material from an unvaccinated dog like parks, dog parks, grassy areas around stores, etc… where an unvaccinated dog may have been.
It is critical that you do not allow your puppy to be around other dogs unless they have been fully vaccinated too.
