Puppies typically need a series of vaccinations to protect them from various infectious diseases. Common vaccinations include:
-
Distemper: Protects against a viral disease that affects a puppy's respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.
-
Parvovirus: Protects against a highly contagious virus that can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms and sometimes lead to death.
-
Adenovirus: Protects against canine hepatitis, a viral infection that affects a dog's liver and can be life-threatening.
-
Parainfluenza: Protects against a respiratory virus that can contribute to kennel cough.
-
Bordetella: Protects against kennel cough, a highly contagious respiratory infection.
-
Rabies: Protects against the rabies virus, which is fatal to dogs and can be transmitted to humans.
It's important to consult with a veterinarian to create a vaccination schedule tailored to your puppy's specific needs and lifestyle. Regular vaccinations help ensure your puppy's long-term health and well-being.
