Pet vaccination schedules vary depending on the pet's age, breed, health, prior vaccinations, and exposure to disease. Your local veterinarian can help you determine the type and frequency of vaccinations your pet needs. Always read and follow manufacturer's written instructions.

• Puppies: (vaccinate at 2-4 week intervals until approximately 16 weeks of age)
  High risk puppies receive parvovirus or parvovirus/coronavirus at 5 weeks. A combination vaccine containing distemper, hepatitis/adenovirus, parvovirus, parainfluenza, and coronavirus (DHPPvCv) can be given at 6, 9, 12, and 16 weeks, or 8,12, and 16 weeks. The combination vaccine with added leptospirosis (DHLPPvCv) given, when advised, for the 12 and 16 week vaccinations. Rabies is given at about 16 weeks.
