DOG VACCINES
This information is provided by
Provet for educational purposes only.
You should seek the advice of
your veterinarian if your pet is ill as only he or she can correctly advise
on the diagnosis and recommend the treatment that is most appropriate for
your pet.
Note for Pet Owners: Vaccination is only mandatory under certain circumstances (such as
for the movement of animals across International borders). However,
as an animal owner you have an obligation to take whatever steps are
practical and affordable to prevent disease. In addition, by protecting
your animal you are also reducing the chances of it contracting one of
these serious diseases and transmitting it to another animal.

When should dogs be vaccinated ?
Dogs should be vaccinated for the first time when they are young puppies (from 6 weeks of age) to protect them against a number of important infectious diseases. They usually require more than one dose initially (called the primary course) followed by booster vaccinations at regular intervals to maintain protection.
Vaccination of dogs is required for movement across many International borders, and before dogs can enter boarding kennels or dog shows. The National Greyhound Racing Club in the UK insists on vaccination of dogs participating in the sport.
