Typical Vaccine Schedule for Puppies

Distemper/Parvo Combo (DA2PP) and Rabies are considered CORE vaccines

This is a typical schedule for vaccines. Your puppy may receive them at slightly different times depending on age, breeder recommendations, lifestyle, etc.

6-8 weeks - First in the series of DA2PP vaccines

10 weeks - Bordetella vaccine, oral. Most commonly refered to as the kennel cough vaccine).

12 weeks - Second DA2PP vaccine

13 weeks - First Lyme vaccine

14 weeks - First Lepto vaccine

15 weeks - Second/Final Lyme vaccine (1Y)

16 weeks - Third (final/ 1Y) DA2PP vaccine, to be given before 6 months of age)

+/- Rabies vaccine (rabies can be given any time AFTER 12 weeks, but MUST

17 weeks - Second/Final Lepto vaccine (1Y)

18 weeks - First Influenza vaccine

18 weeks - Rabies vaccine (1Y)

20 weeks - Second/Final Influenza (1Y)

We can start elective vaccines any time, BUT we like to space vaccines out-

Here's Why:

Each vaccine has the potential, no matter how remote, to cause a reaction. The more vaccines given together, the higher the likelihood.

If we've given several vaccines together, we will not know which one (or if it was the combination) caused the reaction.

We want your puppy to be protected from disease as safely as possible.
