Where do puppies get shots?
Puppies get their vaccinations starting at six to eight weeks old. They’ll need a series of shots to protect them from diseases like distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and rabies. Most vets recommend getting the final round of puppy shots when the dog is about 16 weeks old. After that, the vet may suggest boosters every one to three years depending on the individual dog’s needs. It’s also important to keep up with annual checkups so your pup stays healthy throughout his life. Keeping up with vaccinations and regular visits can help ensure a long and happy life for your furry friend.
Additionally, many pet owners choose to get their dogs microchipped or enrolled in pet insurance plans as extra safety nets should an emergency arise. Regardless of which options you choose, it’s important to do what’s best for your pup when it comes to health care!
