The appearance of a small pet at home imposes a special responsibility on the owners. Caring for a puppy is expressed not only in proper nutrition and physical activity. Comprehensive animal care includes timely veterinary intervention.
Healthy newborn babies require a visit to the veterinarian for vaccinations. The puppy's first vaccination is given already in the second month of life. Subsequently, the puppies are re-vaccinated and other planned measures are taken.
Timely vaccinations help protect your pet from infections, which prolongs their life and allows you to raise a healthy and happy dog.
What types of vaccinations are there?
Before the puppy is one year old, it is necessary to receive a number of different vaccinations. Each of them is aimed at combating a specific virus. Depending on the region and the presence of certain infectious diseases in it, the types and quantities of required vaccines may vary. But there are a number of mandatory vaccines that are administered to dogs regardless of their geographic location.
There are different types of vaccinations:
- From viral hepatitis.
- From parvovirus enteritis.
- From the plague.
- From parainfluenza.
- From leptospirosis.
- Against rabies.
- From piroplasmosis.
- Against lichen.
The mandatory vaccination schedule does not include tick vaccination; this injection is given at the request of the owners. There are no vaccinations against coronavirus; veterinary medicine treats this infection depending on how it was acquired.
Vaccinations for puppies according to age are given in strict accordance with the established schedule. The final decision on the number of vaccines administered and the types of diseases to be prevented rests with the veterinarian. By following the recommendations of a specialist, up to 90% of diseases can be prevented. In the remaining 10% of cases, the disease is mild and does not cause death to the pet or severe damage to its body.
Types of vaccines
There are live, attenuated (weakened) and non-live vaccines. “Dead” vaccines are not capable of causing disease even in a weakened dog, so they are considered safer. However, immunity from such a vaccine is less intense and persistent than when using a live vaccine.
In this regard, vaccinating a dog using weakened microorganisms is more preferable, but only in absolutely healthy animals.
Based on the number of infectious agent antigens used, a distinction is made between mono-vaccines (creating immunity against one pathogen) and complex vaccines (containing antigens of several infections at once).
A complex vaccine for dogs containing antigens of pathogens of the following diseases has become widespread:
- canine distemper;
- parvovirus enteritis;
- infectious hepatitis;
- parainfluenza;
- leptospirosis.
Vaccination of dogs against rabies is usually carried out using a monovaccine.
Vaccination schedule by age
When a small puppy or adult dog appears in the house, you should immediately contact a veterinarian. He will conduct an initial examination of the pet and set a vaccination schedule, taking into account the types of mandatory and recommended serums.
Vaccination table from birth to one year:
| Name of the disease | 1st vaccination | 2nd puppy vaccination | Comments |
| Plague | at 2 months | at 3 months | are done comprehensively |
| Viral hepatitis | at 2 months | in 21-28 days | included in the complex |
| Parvovirus enteritis | 8-10 weeks | in 3-4 weeks | included in the complex |
| Parainfluenza | 8-10 weeks | at three months | included in the complex |
| Leptospirosis | at 2 months | at 3 months | included in the complex |
| Rabies | 11-13 weeks | — | the only vaccination that is mandatory in the Russian Federation |
| Piroplasmosis (carrier tick) | at 6 months | in 3 weeks | There is a lot of debate about the guarantee of protection after the introduction of the vaccine |
| Lichen | individually | a month later | the effectiveness of vaccination is controversial, since lichen mutates quite quickly and is easier to treat after the disease has occurred |
| Trichophytosis (ringworm) | between 1 month and six months | In 2 weeks | helps prevent infection in 100% of cases |
| Microsporia | 1-6 months | in 10-14 days | recommended for use, but the disease can be easily cured with ointments, without the use of injections |
At 1 month, newborns can be given the PUPPY vaccine. It is not mandatory and is only used if there is a high probability of infection, such as quarantine in a shelter.
Revaccination of all listed diseases is carried out when the dog reaches one year. The frequency of subsequent injections is once a year.
Varieties of vaccine
Puppies are vaccinated against these diseases.
- Rabies – vaccination is required. Dog rabies is a dangerous disease that can be transmitted to humans. Animals suffer severely from pathology and die. Vaccination does not cause complications in the puppy and is easily tolerated by the body. A dog is given a rabies vaccine once a year.
- Carnivore plague is an infectious disease that leads to agony and death of the animal. Vaccination is easily tolerated by dogs; it happens that puppies experience lethargy and loss of appetite after vaccination. This discomfort goes away within 2-3 days.
- Parvovirus gastroenteritis is a dangerous intestinal disease that leads to complete dehydration of the dog’s body. Vaccination against the disease is considered a preventive measure to combat the disease.
- Leptospirosis is a dangerous infectious disease that leads to the rapid death of the animal. Vaccination is carried out for preventive purposes.
- Infectious hepatitis is a contagious viral disease of acute form. Characterized by fever, snot, saliva, damage to the central nervous system and liver.
- Adenovirus infections are mostly susceptible to puppies. The dog's condition depends on its immunological status.
- Parainfluenza is transmitted by airborne droplets. Your pet should be vaccinated first - at the beginning of the epidemic period, especially if you exhibit the dog at exhibitions.
All of the above diseases are especially dangerous, but a vaccinated animal develops immunity; in case of contact with a sick pet, the vaccinated dog will suffer a mild form of the disease, which will relieve complications and save life.
Today, mono-vaccines (against a single type of disease) and complex vaccines (the composition of the vaccine fights several diseases) have been developed. Complex vaccines are preferred. With one injection it is possible to vaccinate an animal against a list of common diseases (plague, rabies, hepatitis, enteritis and others).
Nobivak vaccine
Nobivak is considered a common live vaccine against dangerous diseases. This combination vaccine protects against known canine diseases, from distemper and rabies to parainfluenza and leptospirosis. The vaccine is a white liquid, the injection is given either subcutaneously or intramuscularly (depending on the type of vaccine).
Conditions for vaccination with Nobivak vaccinations:
- The puppy is healthy.
- 10-14 days before the proposed vaccination, the puppy needs to be dewormed.
- 1 dose of medicine is given to 1 animal, regardless of age, weight and size.
- The first vaccination for a puppy is given at 8-9 weeks.
- Repeated vaccination is given at 12 weeks.
- The next vaccine is given at 1 year of age.
- Every subsequent year the dog must be revaccinated.
- Allergic reactions and hypersensitivity to the vaccine are rare.
Vaccination schedule depending on breed
Vaccination of puppies is carried out in order to develop stable immunity to certain diseases. The first weeks of babies’ lives are protected by antibodies that enter their bodies with mother’s milk. By 2-3 months, the level of antibodies drops, so it is during this period that dogs are subject to primary vaccinations.

Small dogs are given injections at almost the same time, regardless of their breed. German puppies and other varieties of kittens can receive additional vaccinations at the age of 4-6 weeks, only if there is a high risk of possible infection with a particular disease. Mutts are vaccinated according to standard principles.
The exact vaccination schedule is prepared by the dog’s attending physician. The vaccination dates set by the veterinarian cannot be changed.
Basic rules for dog vaccination
Vaccination is a serious stress for the dog’s body, so it is necessary to minimize the risks of possible complications.
This becomes possible by following the basic rules of vaccination:
- Vaccination is possible only for healthy dogs;
- preliminary deworming, flea and tick treatment two weeks in advance;
- vaccination in advance of the intended mating (2-3 months).
Also, when vaccinating, you must adhere to the following basic principles:
- Vaccinations for dogs are carried out strictly according to age;
- It is not recommended to vaccinate puppies before 8 weeks of age due to the high activity of maternal antibodies;
- vaccination is carried out using routine vaccinations according to the dog vaccination schedule;
- Annual vaccination of dogs is carried out in order to maintain strong immunity;
- The vaccination program includes: mandatory vaccinations (rabies, enteritis, canine distemper, parainfluenza and leptospirosis) and vaccinations in endemic areas (Lyme disease, coronavirus enteritis).
Preparing for vaccination
Dog vaccination is a multi-step procedure that must be performed regularly, strictly in accordance with the schedule. The process is complicated by the fact that the pet must be properly prepared for vaccination, and then undergo a certain quarantine after the injection.
The main recommendations for preparation are the need to carry out preventive measures, namely, give anthelmintic drugs before administering the vaccine. It is extremely important not to inject sick puppies. The dog’s condition is usually assessed by a veterinarian, but the pet’s owner must also monitor his well-being.
When preparing your baby, you should follow these tips:
- Treat the wool with special preparations to remove fleas.
- After a few days, give an anthelmintic drug. It is purchased taking into account the actual weight and age of the puppy. If necessary, a repeat appointment is made after 10-12 days.
- A visit to the clinic is planned no earlier than 10 days after the last anthelmintic dose.
When re-administering primary injections, the procedure does not need to be repeated. But in the future, with annual vaccination, preparation is carried out in full.
Veterinary passport
An international veterinary passport is the most important document for a dog, without which long trips with a dog around the country, travel abroad, participation in exhibitions and breeding are impossible.
The most important points of a dog’s veterinary passport are:
- vaccination against rabies and other infectious animal diseases;
- flea and tick treatment;
- deworming;
- reproduction.
The document also contains information about the owner of the animal, identification (in the case of implantation of an electronic chip) and some characteristics of the dog, in particular gender, color and special features.
How to vaccinate a dog
Vaccinations for dogs are given intramuscularly. You can inject yourself or at a veterinary clinic.
It is not difficult to vaccinate a puppy at home yourself, but it will require certain knowledge and skills. The procedure for administering the injection at home is as follows:
- Disinfect the vaccine injection site. The injection can be placed in the withers and in the hind thigh. Disinfection is carried out using alcohol or another medical solution intended for this purpose. Do not forget that the “house doctor” himself must also wash his hands thoroughly.
- Mix the vaccine until smooth by shaking and draw the liquid into the syringe.
- Bleed air from the syringe. There should be no air bubbles in the solution.
- Insert the needle into the treated area on the withers or back thigh and slowly inject the drug.
- Remove the needle and re-treat the injection site with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

Home injections are not suitable if the dog will take part in exhibitions and competitions or travel with dogs. In these cases, the dog must have a vaccination passport, which can only be issued by accredited veterinary hospitals.
Vaccination rules
It is not recommended to vaccinate a puppy before 2 months of age. Before vaccination you will need to meet the following conditions:
- Preparing the dog. The puppy must be dewormed 15 days before vaccination. Many domestic and imported drugs have been developed and are purchased at a veterinary clinic.
- Only healthy animals are vaccinated. If the puppy is sick or unwell, vaccination is postponed until the baby has fully recovered.
The first vaccination of puppies is carried out at 8 weeks. As an exception, puppies can be vaccinated for the first time at 6 weeks, provided that the mother of the puppies was not vaccinated before mating.
- The first vaccination of puppies takes place in two stages - an indispensable condition. The first injection is given, after 7-14 days - the second injection.
- When the puppy's baby teeth are replaced, the vaccination is repeated. The period of teeth change occurs between the ages of four and six months.
- The next vaccination is given to the dog at 1 year of age.
- Then the dog is vaccinated again every year.
- There is a special condition for bitches - they must be vaccinated annually, but 1 month before the expected mating (or estrus).
Vaccination of dogs and puppies is done according to the vaccine instructions exclusively by a veterinarian.
Some vaccines are given subcutaneously, some are given intramuscularly, others can be given intramuscularly and subcutaneously. An incorrectly administered injection can lead to negative consequences in the animal’s body: vomiting, diarrhea, weakness in the legs, disability. After vaccination, puppies are still susceptible to infectious diseases. Full immunity from the disease is developed three weeks after repeated vaccination. During the risky period, you will need to carefully protect the puppy from communicating with relatives, from infection during a walk, and from colds. Walking a one and a half month old dog means exposing your pet to unjustified risk. You should not take your dog to shows or show off your baby to guests.
The dog must be healthy during the vaccination period! If the puppy is sick, or you suspect the dog has a disease, vaccination will only worsen the course of the disease. In the period before vaccination, the best places for walks will be uncrowded country forest parks, where there is little chance of meeting other animals. Such walks will help protect the puppy from the danger of falling victim to infectious diseases and will be beneficial. The animal will receive a lot of new impressions; fresh air and space will help the development of the body and strengthen the immune system.
What drugs are used
Dog owners quite often wonder which vaccine to choose from the variety of drugs offered. Without sufficient experience, it is not too clear what exactly to focus on when choosing. But it is worth understanding that the same type of injection can have many names, depending on who the manufacturer is.
If we talk about the most common vaccines that are used to vaccinate puppies and adults, their list is quite small:
- Monovalent vaccines are aimed at preventing one type of disease. Such drugs are very effective, and they also reduce the burden on the animal’s body when producing antibodies. It is believed that the quality of the immune bodies produced as a result of the single drug is higher. If you vaccinate a puppy with monovalent drugs, it is easier to develop an individual vaccination regimen.
- Polyvalent or complex vaccines can form immunity against several types of diseases at once. The drug contains live viral strains, which allow the puppy to have a mild form of the disease and develop immunity to it. It is better to use a seven-valent drug in relation to already adult pets; they can more easily tolerate its effects, since the body already has immune bodies of this type.
The price of the drug directly depends on the manufacturer, as well as on the type of vaccine chosen.
Domestic
Manufacturers of vaccination drugs are constantly looking for new and improved drugs, so the list of injections is often updated with new items. Today, four-legged pets can be vaccinated using the following domestic vaccines:
| Name | What disease does it fight? | Primary use |
| Aversect | nematodosis, demodicosis, otodectosis, notoedrosis, sarcoptic mange, entomosis | at any time when a disease is detected |

Does a puppy need vaccination?
Vaccination of puppies and adult dogs - confidence in their health. Vaccination of pets is considered a necessity for animals and humans. The price of puppy vaccination depends on many factors: the location and popularity of the veterinary hospital, the qualifications of the veterinarian, the location of the vaccine (calling a veterinarian to your home is much more expensive) and the manufacturer of the vaccine. In different regions, the price for puppy vaccination is different, fluctuating in the same category for the first vaccination.
Repeated and subsequent vaccinations of a puppy are half the price. This is explained by the fact that during the first vaccination, the veterinarian gives a full consultation and answers any questions that arise, charging an additional fee. Subsequent vaccinations do not raise many questions; veterinarian advice is not required.
Restrictions after vaccination
When vaccinated, a puppy is injected with the viral strain of the disease against which it is being vaccinated. Accordingly, the pet’s body will be susceptible to the disease, albeit in extremely small doses. It takes about two weeks for complete recovery and the production of immune bodies. But persistent immunity to the disease appears only after the puppy’s second vaccination, and sometimes after the third.
It is important for puppies to undergo strict quarantine for two weeks after each vaccination. During this period, it should not be taken outside, but the house should be kept clean and the pet’s contact with dirty shoes or with other pets that are regularly walked in the fresh air should be minimized.
Consequences of vaccination
Each dog’s body is individual, sometimes after vaccination the puppy feels unwell. The reaction to vaccination in a puppy can be different: increased body temperature, lethargy, loss of appetite, passivity. If the puppy is lethargic after vaccination or other symptoms of illness are observed, it should not be disturbed. You cannot force your baby to eat, but drinking water should be nearby at all times.
Usually these symptoms go away on their own within 3 days. If the puppy's condition worsens, you need to show him to a doctor. It is possible that the dog was sick during vaccination. The vaccine caused more damage to the body, and the animal’s condition worsened.
A common occurrence: your puppy has a bump after vaccination. This kind of trouble happens if the injection is placed incorrectly in the intercutaneous space. In mild forms, the lump will resolve on its own. If the lump does not disappear and continues to increase in size, surgical intervention or treatment with medications is required. It is possible that an infection may be introduced under the dog's skin during vaccination.
If the puppy’s behavior after vaccination becomes incomprehensible: constant drowsiness, shortness of breath, excessive salivation, bluish skin, the animal has an allergic reaction to the composition of the vaccine. It cannot be done without medical intervention. If emergency measures are not taken in a timely manner to improve the puppy’s condition, delay will lead to the death of the animal. Before the doctor arrives, it is recommended to give the dog any antihistamine drug intended for humans.
In selected cases, puppies experience allergic reactions to the composition of the vaccine. Mainly during primary vaccination. Possible allergic reactions:
- itching,
- swelling,
- anaphylactic shock.
If the puppy experiences these phenomena, a week before the next vaccination the puppy should be given a course of anti-allergy medications. The most effective drugs are tavegil or suprastin. They are given half a tablet 3 times a day for a week before vaccination, for a week after vaccination.
The location of the vaccine is considered an important condition. The ideal option is to call a veterinarian at home; the risk of contracting various diseases will disappear. As you know, both healthy and sick dogs are brought to the veterinary clinic; in these places, the risk of the puppy contracting diseases increases.
Side effects and complications
Injections can cause complications. The most common side effect is an allergy to the vaccine. The reaction is expressed in profuse salivation, lacrimation, involuntary defecation, swelling at the injection site.
After vaccination, they can suffer from a mild form of ARVI; they sneeze, cough, and have a fever. Sometimes complications are expressed in a more complex form. One of the most severe side effects after an injection can be post-vaccination sarcoma. This is a tumor that forms at the injection site. It can only be removed surgically.
How to prepare a puppy for its first vaccination
The vaccine gently prepares the puppy's immune system to fight the invasion of dangerous microorganisms.
Vaccination usually takes place without complications, but it cannot be done without following the rules.
- Only completely healthy puppies with no signs of illness can be vaccinated.
- For three days before vaccination, you need to monitor the animal’s temperature. It should be 38–39.30C.
- If you suspect the presence of fleas and ticks , you need to treat the fur before vaccinations. You can prevent the appearance of these parasites by wearing a protective collar .
- Before vaccination, it is necessary to remove worms from your pet. This is done 7-10 days before vaccinations. The dose of anthelmintic depends on the weight of the animal.
- Before vaccination and during quarantine, you cannot take your pet outside. To avoid bringing infection into the house, you need to treat the rugs in front of the door with a disinfectant solution.
- For normal development of immunity, it is necessary to ensure adequate feeding of the puppy.
After the first vaccination, immunity is formed within 12 days. Quarantine is required until the expiration date. After vaccination, the puppy may be lethargic, sometimes there is an elevated temperature, general weakness, and diarrhea. High-quality nutrition is the minimum that a puppy requires at this time.
What to do if you missed a vaccination
The vaccination schedule established by the doctor cannot be changed without permission, especially when it comes to primary vaccinations. Subsequently, revaccination is carried out every year, but the timing of the first injections is extremely important.
If the owner missed the deadline for administering the vaccine, one should be prepared for the fact that immunity will not be fully developed, that is, it will not be 100% stable. Sometimes skipping an injection is due to the pet's illness.
If you miss the time for administering the vaccine, you will have to take the course of this vaccination again and only after quarantine will the dog be able to go outside for a walk.
The first year of a puppy's life is very important for its entire life. It is possible to form an immune system resistant to infections only through vaccination. The vaccination schedule should be strictly followed; this is the only way your four-legged pet can get a healthy foundation for its future existence.

Vaccination of a beloved dog is an important stage in the life of any owner. Even before purchasing a puppy, you should worry about how to fully protect its life. We should also not forget that when taking home a little bundle of life, you have to take on full responsibility and numerous difficulties. Fortunately, to this day the phrase of A. Exupery remains extremely relevant: “We are responsible for those we have tamed.”
Where to carry out the procedure?
It is best to get vaccinations done at a veterinary clinic, where the doctor, knowing all the instructions and techniques, will do everything as correctly as possible. What vaccinations does a puppy need to get at home? Of course, you can vaccinate yourself, but by doing so the owner puts his pet at risk.
Please note that a self-administered vaccination will not be officially registered in the veterinary passport, and transporting the dog abroad will be impossible. Also, if a dog bites someone, again, the owner will not prove that it is vaccinated against rabies.
But those who still decide to do it themselves should familiarize themselves with the vaccination rules. You need to know at what time routine vaccination should be carried out and which vaccines are best to use.
It is better to buy the vaccine from a trusted supplier, where the rules for its storage and transportation will be strictly followed. But you need to remember that after each vaccination, deterioration in health may occur, so it is better to be under the supervision of a qualified doctor.
Vaccinating a puppy on your own can be dangerous to its health.
Why do you need to vaccinate your dog, and what diseases can you protect it from?
Mandatory vaccination protects dogs from and their owners (since many diseases are transmitted to people) from complex, sometimes fatal diseases. Be sure to put:
- Vaccination against enteritis. For dogs, parvovirus is one of the most dangerous pathogens; it rapidly affects the digestive system, then the heart and blood vessels. Contagious.
- Plague (canine plague). Not dangerous to humans, but can be fatal to an infected animal. The virus affects the skin and mucous membranes, fever suddenly begins, and the nervous system comes under attack.
- Rabies is a disease that has no cure in humans or animals. The infection “hits” the central nervous system, brain and spinal cord. The damage is irreversible.
- Parainfluenza. The virus is dangerous for the respiratory system and often causes complications.
- Hepatitis. The disease does not show characteristic symptoms for a long time, it is easy to confuse it with a cold. Slow development allows the pathology to cause irreparable damage to the liver and gastrointestinal tract.
- Leptospirosis. The main route of infection is dirty water. The circulatory and excretory systems and the liver are affected. Urination stops.
These are mandatory vaccinations for dogs; neglecting them is dangerous for both animals and people. If you wish, you can additionally protect your pet, for example, from lichen or piroplasmosis (a disease transmitted by tick bites).
Monitor the epidemiological situation in your region. In accordance with it, veterinarians provide a list of recommended vaccinations.
