Dog Vaccination Schedule & Puppy Immunization Timeline

Calculate your puppy or adult dog vaccination calendar based on birth date, manage DHPP, Rabies, Bordetella, and Leptospira shots, and export to iCal/PDF.

Clinical Veterinary Notice

Vaccination schedules must be personalized by your veterinarian based on physical examination, maternal antibody levels, and regional disease prevalence.

If exact day is unknown, an approximate birth date works.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do puppy vaccinations start?
Puppy vaccination protocols typically start at 6-8 weeks with parasite deworming, followed by the first core DHPP combination vaccine around 8 weeks when maternal antibodies decline.
What diseases does the canine core DHPP vaccine prevent?
The core combination vaccine immunizes against Canine Distemper, Infectious Canine Hepatitis (Adenovirus), Canine Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza.
Is the rabies vaccine mandatory for dogs?
Yes. Rabies vaccination is legally required for all dogs over 3 months of age in most jurisdictions and must be boostered annually.
Can a dog take a bath after vaccination?
Do not bathe your dog for at least 48 to 72 hours post-vaccination. Water exposure and stress can weaken the immune response.

Canine Core Vaccines & Disease Guide

Core Combo Vaccine (DHPP)

Protects against lethal Parvovirus, Distemper, Adenovirus, and Parainfluenza. Administered in a primary 2-dose series 3-4 weeks apart, followed by annual revaccination.

Rabies Vaccine (Mandatory)

Guards against fatal zoonotic rabies virus. Legally mandated starting at 12 weeks of age, with strict annual booster compliance.

Kennel Cough (Bordetella)

Essential for social dogs visiting boarding kennels, dog parks, and grooming salons to prevent highly contagious infectious tracheobronchitis.

Leptospirosis Vaccine

Protects against dangerous spirochete bacteria transmitted via rodent urine and standing puddles that precipitate severe acute renal and hepatic failure.

Essential Pre & Post-Vaccination Guidelines

  • Deworming Must Precede Vaccination: Parasites compromise the immune response. A comprehensive dewormer should be completed prior to antigen administration.
  • Strict Quarantine Until Final Puppy Booster: Do not walk puppies in public grounds or allow contact with unknown dogs until 10-14 days after the second DHPP booster.
  • Normal Post-Vaccine Symptoms: Mild lethargy and transient soreness for 24-36 hours are common. Facial swelling, hives, vomiting, or respiratory distress require immediate emergency veterinary care.
