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.
For general information about vaccines and vaccination Vaccines in common use in dogs are listed below. If you want to find out more
