Puppy Vaccinations
Puppy vaccines are done at 8, 12, and 16 weeks.
Importance of Puppy Vaccines
The typical "puppy shots" series
The puppy shot series usually starts between 6–8 weeks of age, with new vaccines and boosters given every 3–4 weeks until the puppy is 16–17 weeks The timing and duration of a puppy shot series, as well as which vaccines are included in the series, is dependent on several factors and isn’t necessarily always 100% completely the same for every puppy. Some of the factors that influence which vaccines a pup should receive, as well as when and how often, include:
-
Puppy’s age
-
How many other puppies were in their litter
-
How well, and for how long, the puppy nursed
-
What mom’s vaccination and immunity status was
-
The cleanliness and set up of the environment they were raised in
-
What other vaccines they’ve already had from the breeder, shelter, or other, and when they had them
-
The part of the country they’re in and have come from
-
What type of “lifestyle” your dog will have (i.e., will they go to doggie daycare, the groomer, will they hike or go fishing with you, etc.)

Leptospirosis ("Lepto")
Initial vaccine in a 2-part series in the first year. Leptospirosis is a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria. These bacteria can be found worldwide in soil and water. There are many strains of Leptospira bacteria that can cause disease. Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, which means it can be spread from animals to people. Infection in people can cause flu-like symptoms and can cause liver or kidney disease. In the United States, most cases of human leptospirosis result from recreational activities involving water.

Rabies
-
Rabies is a deadly disease caused by a virus that attacks the nervous system. The virus is secreted in saliva and is usually transmitted to people and animals by a bite from an infected animal. Less commonly, rabies can be transmitted when saliva from a rabid animal comes in contact with an open cut on the skin or the eyes, nose, or mouth of a person or animal. Once the outward signs of the disease appear, rabies is nearly always fatal.
