Vaccinations: Dogs

As loving members of your family, your dog requires protection from common illnesses and diseases. Getting your dog vaccinated will go a long way in protecting and maintaining their health and extending their life. Our dog vaccinations in Whittier are designed to keep your pup safe from many viruses and bacteria that are common culprits for many minor and serious diseases that could be dangerous to your dog’s health and long life. Such things as rabies and distemper or parainfluenza are all things that your dog can be protected from by having them vaccinated.

Core Vaccines for Dogs

Core vaccines are those vaccinations that create the foundation for a healthy life. The core vaccines are those that all dogs need for good health. These are:

  • Rabies vaccine: rabies is a fatal disease and vaccinating your dog against it is mandatory by the laws of California
  • Bordetella vaccine: helps to prevent or reduce the likelihood of contracting respiratory infections that can lead to serious diseases such as pneumonia
  • Distemper and parvovirus vaccines: these vaccines protect against potentially fatal diseases

Other Common Vaccines for Dogs

Other shots that will protect the health and well-being of your dog include:

  • Vaccinations against coronavirus
  • Vaccines that protect against hepatitis
  • Vaccinations for leptospirosis and parainfluenza

Common Schedule for Vaccinating Your Dog

  • Between six and eight weeks your puppy should be vaccinated for distemper, measles, bordetella, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and parvovirus
  • Between ten to twelve weeks your puppy should receive vaccines for coronavirus and leptospirosis
  • They should be vaccinated for rabies between twelve and twenty-four weeks old
  • Between twelve and twenty-four weeks your puppy should be vaccinated again for adenovirus and distemper, as well as for paravirus and parainfluenza

Will my puppy need more shots when they are older?

Our Whittier dog vaccinations do not last a lifetime, so they need to be continually updated to maintain the health of your dog. When a vaccine becomes ineffective after a few years, your dog becomes liable to contract or develop certain diseases that they would normally be protected against. Some breeds require a different schedule then others and this can be determined by our vet, so that your dog is always protected, and their shots are always up to date.
