Puppy vaccine and deworming schedule: understand with one picture
Starting at six weeks of age, one shot is given every three to four weeks, for a total of three shots.
The core vaccine usually starts at six to eight weeks of age, with additional doses every three to four weeks for a total of three doses, with the final dose completed after 16 weeks of age. Rabies vaccine is generally given at three months of age and above, and then boosted annually according to local regulations.
Deworming is divided into two lines: internal and external. Internal deworming starts from two weeks of age, once every two weeks until the puppy is three months old, and then once a month; external deworming is done monthly, and fleas, ticks, and mites are covered at the same time.
Before the vaccine is completed, do not take it to places where dogs are densely populated, such as park lawns and pet stores. You can hold it and go out to see the world, but your feet should not touch the ground.
Slight mental decline and loss of appetite may occur within 24 hours after vaccination, which are normal reactions. If facial swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing occur, return to the doctor immediately. This is an allergic reaction.
