Vaccination Schedule for Puppies

Keeping your puppy updated on their deworming and vaccination schedule can be effective in helping prolong the longevity of their health. Below, our Turlock vets share a typical schedule of when your puppy should be vaccinated and the vaccines they will receive.

A puppy shot schedule chart doesn't end when your companion grows up. Your companion will require vaccinations and booster shots into adulthood to keep them protected against disease and illness.

In addition to regular vaccination, it is also recommended to keep your dog on a schedule of other preventatives, such as heartworm medication, and dewormer. Speak with your veterinarian to see which preventatives your dog should be on based on which parasites can be found in your area.

The Importance of Vaccinations

Our vets believe that getting your dog vaccinated is an essential part of your pet's annual preventive health care. By getting your dog vaccinated early in life, and regularly throughout their lifetime, you help to provide your pet with their best chance of living a long, and healthy life.

Vaccines can protect your dog against a number of serious, often fatal diseases such as rabies, hepatitis, and parvovirus. When it comes to caring for your dog, prevention is always better than treatment.
