Canine Vaccination Schedule
We recommend vaccinating puppies as early as 6-8 weeks as puppies are very susceptible to viruses at this age. It is important to follow with a series of vaccinations until they are 16 weeks of age. The reason for this is because of Maternal Interference, which means antibodies transferred from the bitch to her pups in colostrum interferes somewhat with vaccinations given at an early age. The last vaccination given at 16 weeks is not interfered with and the protection will last for a year.
If pups are started at:
| 6 weeks: | DHLPPC |
| Boost at 9 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 12 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 15 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 18 weeks DHLPPC and RABIES | |
| 7 weeks: | DHLPPC |
| Boost at 10 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 13 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 16 weeks DHLPPC and RABIES | |
| 8 weeks: | DHLPPC |
| Boost at 11 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 14 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 17 weeks DHLPPC and RABIES | |
| 9 weeks: | DHLPPC |
| Boost at 12 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 15 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 18 weeks DHLPPC and RABIES | |
| 10 weeks: | DHLPPC |
| Boost at 13 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 16 weeks DHLPPC and RABIES | |
| 11 weeks: | DHLPPC |
| Boost at 14 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 17 weeks DHLPPC and RABIES | |
| 12 weeks: | DHLPPC |
| Boost at 15 weeks DHLPPC | |
| Boost at 18 weeks DHLPPC and RABIES |
Any pup greater than 13 weeks of age which has not been vaccinated should get an initial DHLPPC and RABIES followed with a booster DHLPPC in three weeks.
RABIES should be given at 12 to 18 weeks of age, which will be good for one year. Rabies vaccines given to a dog over one year of age, with previous rabies vaccination, will be good for three years.
Feline Vaccination Schedule
If kittens are started at:
| 6 weeks: | FVRCP |
| Boost at 9 weeks FVRCP | |
| Boost at 12 weeks FVRCP | |
| 7 weeks: | FVRCP |
| Boost at 10 weeks FVRCP | |
| Boost at 13 weeks FVRCP | |
| 8 weeks: | FVRCP |
| Boost at 11 weeks FVRCP | |
| 9 weeks: | FVRCP |
| Boost at 12 weeks FVRCP | |
| 10 weeks: | FVRCP |
| Boost at 13 weeks FVRCP | |
| 11 weeks: | FVRCP |
| Boost at 14 weeks FVRCP |
Any kitten greater than 12 weeks of age that has not been vaccinated should get an initial FVRCP and boosted three weeks later to get a full year’s protection. This order may be reversed.
Feline Leukemia: This vaccination can be started at 9 weeks of age following a negative blood test which can be done as soon as the kitten is large enough to draw blood from. A second booster is required three weeks from the original vaccination.
RABIES: An initial dose can be given at 3-4 months of age, then at one year at which time it is good for three years.
FVRCP and FELUKE must be boosted yearly.
