Necessary Vaccinations for Dogs & Puppies
6 weeks: Temporary Distemper and Measles vaccination for puppies
that did not nurse from their mother during the first hours after birth or
puppies from a bitch that is not current on her vaccinations.
8 weeks: DHLPPC*-Distemper, Canine Infectious Hepatitis,
Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, and Coronavirus
12 weeks: DHLPPC Booster
16 weeks: DHLPPC Booster
6 months: Rabies (1-year vaccination)
14 months: DHLPPC, administered yearly from this date
18 months: Rabies (3-year vaccination), administered every 3 years
from this date
* The DHLPPC vaccination requires the two booster injections to build
up maximum immunity in the dog
Other Vaccinations
These vaccinations are for canine diseases that are not a threat to most
dogs in their everyday life surroundings
Bordetella(Canine Cough Complex or Kennel Cough)
Administered in drops via the dogs nose
Recommended for dogs that are kept in confined areas with many other
dogs
Usually required for boarding, kenneling, commercial travel, and
international travel
Booster: yearly
Lyme Disease
Administered as an injection
Recommended for dogs residing in, or that will travel through areas with
high frequencies of Lyme Disease Cases
Multivalent vaccines are those that have more than one
disease antigen combined into one injection.
A typical multivalent vaccine is the DHLPPCv vaccine for dogs. Instead of giving six different
injections, all these "vaccines" or antigens can be given in a single small volume injection.
Certainly this is easier on the dog than getting six separate injections.
DHLPPCv stands for:
D... Canine Distemper Virus... a dangerous viral infection. "Distemper" is an odd name for a
viral infection and this disease has no relationship to nor connection with a dog's temperament.
H... Hepatitis...a viral infection caused by two related viruses that mainly affects the liver.
L... Leptospirosis... a bacterial infection affecting the kidneys. This class of bacteria can infect
humans, cows, dogs, pigs and other mammals.
P... Parainfluenza... a virus that along with the Hepatitis virus can cause upper respiratory
infections.
P... Parvovirus... a severe and often fatal virus affecting the lining of the intestinal tract.
Cv... Coronavirus... is very similar to the Parvovirus, can be very severe, but has a somewhat
different effect on the intestinal tract and generally is not fatal.
to 7 weeks of age: Give first combination vaccine. (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus,
Parainfluenza, Coronavirus)
9 weeks of age: Give second combination vaccine.
12 weeks of age: Give the third combination injection and possibly a LYME Vaccine inoculation.
Generally a LYME vaccine is then repeated two weeks later, then once a year.
16 weeks of age: Give the last combination vaccine.
12 to 16 weeks of age: Rabies vaccine is given. (Local and State laws apply regarding Rabies
vaccine since this can be a human disease, too. Your veterinarian will tell you the proper time
intervals for booster vaccines for Rabies.)
Special considerations: Many veterinarians believe some breeds such as Rottweilers and
Dobermans should have at least two Parvo vaccines with the last one being given at 20 weeks of
age.

The build up an immunity against parvo and all the other diseases, veterinarians
recommended vaccination schedule is a loading dose at six weeks, a follow up
four weeks later and another given four weeks after that. Six months after the last
DHLP-P is given, a follow up parvo vaccination is given and then the vaccines go
to an annual injection that is usually given with the law required Rabies shot.
