Types of Shots to Get Your Puppy

Posted by admin in Shots on March 17, 2010 | no responses

Getting your puppy from a breeder is a glorious occasion. You have the opportunity to shower the little dog with affection, providing it with the attention and love that you have been saving up since you decided it was time to add a puppy to your home.

But your job is not done. Puppies have weak immune systems, and there are a variety of dangerous/incurable diseases that your puppy needs to be immunized for in order to keep it healthy. Your breeder should have provided many of the shots before you receive the puppy, but there are several other immunizations your puppy needs before you can safely take it out to dog parks.

Shots for Your Dog
• Canine Distemper
One of the most important immunizations is for distemper. Distemper is an airborne virus that can spread through animal contact, which makes immunizing your puppy to the disease very important before you let it interact with strange dogs. It is especially important for dogs that are going to stay in kennels, since these closed quarters encourage catching the illness.
• Rabies
One of the most famous diseases for dogs is rabies. Rabies vaccines have virtually wiped rabies out from the canine population, but due to the prevalence of rabies in raccoons and stray animals, immunizing your dog to rabies is still extremely important. It is one of the few diseases that carry risks for humans as well. Once your dog has rabies, there is no cure and it will need to be put down. Keep your dog immunized and make sure you bring it to the vet for regular booster shots.
• Parvovirus
Parvovirus is the most common disease among dogs in the US. It cause bloody diarrhea and is spread through contact with feces from dogs that have the disease. Since dogs are notorious sniffers and tasters, parvovirus can easily be spread in areas populated with many dogs. Mortality is a serious risk, so immunization is very important.
• Canine Hepatitis I, II
There are two forms of canine hepatitis that can be dangerous for unimmunized pets. But the hepatitis shots that exist for puppies are spectacularly effective, so transmission is low if you get your dog immunized. Though there are two types of hepatitis, a shot for a single type protects against both diseases.
• Bordetella
Bordetella, also known as “Kennel Cough,” is an infectious disease that can spread quickly from dog to dog. Bordetella is rarely fatal, but the respiratory effects can be very painful for your pet. Bordetella is not a core shot for puppies, but it is highly recommended for dogs that are expected to be around many other dogs at some point in their life.

Additional Immunizations
There are many other vaccinations available to your puppy. Your vet will let you know which of the available vaccines is best based upon your location, your expectation of bringing your dog to a kennel, and more. Some of these vaccines include Parainfluenza, Leptospirosis, Coronavirus, and Lyme disease. Most of these are going to be recommended for your pet if you live in populated areas.

Vaccinations for your pets are not very expensive, and many of them are combined vaccinations that come at a single cost. In addition, booster shots may be needed and are highly recommended, but many of the vaccinations are powerful enough to support your dog after the preventative treatments are over. You should always bring your dog in for booster shots when necessary, but it should be comforting to know that these inexpensive vaccines appear to have a very high degree of efficacy.
