Get Started on the Right Paw
Your puppy initially gets antibodies from their mother, but as they begin to fade, it's important to protect them from common diseases with the right vaccines.
Effective Protection For Their First Year and Beyond
Depending on where you live, your travel plans, and amount of socialization, your puppy will need a series of vaccination doses to be fully protected.
This puppy schedule is a sample of what your vet could recommend.
