How to vaccinate puppies

Vaccination schedule for puppies:

The first year of a puppy's vaccination schedule involves three doses of infectious disease vaccines and one dose of rabies vaccine. The earliest dose of the vaccine can start from the 4th week of the puppy's life, or from the 6th week, followed by a dose every 21 days until all three doses are administered. The rabies vaccine, however, cannot be given until the puppy is 3 months old.

Before a puppy is vaccinated, it is necessary to ensure that the puppy has lived in its new home for at least two weeks, and that it has adapted to the new environment with a good mental state, without symptoms such as sneezing, running nose, or soft stools. Vaccination is not recommended when the animal is suffering from a fever, vomiting, or other illnesses. The puppy should be observed at the hospital for 30 minutes after vaccination to ensure no abnormal reactions occur before leaving. For one week after vaccination, it is not recommended to take the puppy outdoors, and bathing is strictly prohibited.

When a puppy needs to be vaccinated at 4 weeks old, you can choose the puppy保 vaccine, which can prevent distemper and parvovirus. It is the safest vaccine for puppies because it is protein-free.

Puppies over 6 weeks old can choose to be vaccinated with quadrivalent, hexavalent, Vaccibit 5, or Vaccibit 8 vaccines. The quadrivalent vaccine can prevent distemper, parvovirus, canine influenza A, and infectious canine hepatitis. The hexavalent vaccine adds leptospirosis and canine adenovirus to the quadrivalent vaccine. Vaccibit 5 adds canine adenovirus type 2 to the quadrivalent vaccine, and Vaccibit 8 adds coronavirus and leptospirosis to Vaccibit 5. The vaccines should be administered every 21 days after the first dose until all three doses are completed.
