VACCINATION

Vaccination is crucial for poodle puppies to help protect them from various infectious diseases. Here’s a general overview of the vaccinations that poodle puppies typically need:

Core Vaccines

Distemper: A viral disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.

Parvovirus: A highly contagious virus that causes severe gastrointestinal illness.

Adenovirus (Canine Hepatitis): Protects against liver disease caused by the adenovirus.

Rabies: A fatal viral disease that affects the central nervous system; required by law in many areas.

Non-Core Vaccines

Bordetella Bronchiseptica: Often recommended for dogs that will be in contact with others, such as in boarding or grooming situations.

Lyme Disease: Recommended for dogs in areas where Lyme disease is prevalent.

Leptospirosis: A bacterial infection that can be transmitted through water or soil contaminated with urine from infected animals.

Vaccination Schedule

6-8 weeks: First round of vaccinations (distemper, parvovirus).

10-12 weeks: Second round (distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus).

14-16 weeks: Third round (distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus) and rabies.

1 year: Booster shots for core vaccines.

Annual or triennial: Boosters as recommended by your veterinarian.

Considerations

Consult Your Vet: Always discuss with your veterinarian for a tailored vaccination schedule based on your puppy’s health, lifestyle, and local regulations.

Socialization: While vaccinations are essential, socializing your puppy safely with other vaccinated dogs is also important for their development.

Keeping your poodle puppy up to date on vaccinations helps ensure a healthy and happy life.
