Puppy Immunization Strategy

2022-02-07 / 285 Read


Compared with adult dogs, puppies have lower immunity, their delicate constitution is more susceptible to discomfort caused by environmental changes, and they are prone to sub-health status, while puppies are more dependent on their owners, The strong curiosity about the new environment reduces their active rest time, and the illusion of liveliness and activity brought to the owner makes it easy for the owner to ignore the fact that the rest time of the puppy's physiological body cannot be well guaranteed.

So the puppies just brought home cannot be vaccinated immediately. First of all, it needs to be raised at home for about 10 days. During these 10 days, it needs to adapt to the family environment and work and rest time, and adjust its physical state through its own emergency mechanism response. As long as you are in good physical condition within a week before the immunization, you can take your dog for immunization.

At this time, what your dog needs to do is to immunize dogs against infectious diseases, that is, the so-called double vaccine, quadruple vaccine, etc. (the size of the number represents the amount of disease prevention). These vaccines are generally attenuated vaccines (some specific diseases have inactivated vaccines: such as leptospirosis inactivated vaccines), so they need to be completely healthy before they can be injected, otherwise the injection of the vaccine will easily cause the onset of the disease.

(1) First Free

within 8 weeks of age The first choice for puppies is the dual vaccine. Among these are the prevention of canine distemper and canine parvovirus. These are the two most common infectious diseases. Unfortunate puppies not only have to suffer a lot, but also the cost of treatment is relatively high. The most important thing is that the mortality rate is also high. Although there are few types of attenuated vaccines included in the dual vaccine, the quantity is large, and the puppies will produce more antibodies after injection. Therefore, the dual vaccine is a better choice for puppies or puppies with weak congenital constitutions when they are immunized for the first time.

There are generally two vaccines available for 10-week-old dogs: the double vaccine and the quadruple vaccine. The quadruple vaccine includes two viruses in the double vaccine, and adenovirus and paraffin Influenza virus can prevent 4 kinds of diseases, but the amount of strains of the same strain is reduced, which is a common feature of combination vaccines. Therefore, the type of vaccine to be injected depends on the specific physical development of the dog. Relatively speaking, the double vaccine can be selected for those with delayed growth and development, and the quadruple vaccine can be used for others. Doctors at the point to listen to their opinions.

If your baby is 12 weeks old and in good health, the choice of dog vaccines is relatively large, you can choose two vaccines, four vaccines, six vaccines, generally It is said that the use rate of quadruple vaccine and six vaccine is higher, one is based on the physical condition of the dog, and the other is the choice of the owner, because there will be differences in the price of vaccines.

With the increase of weeks of age, there are more options for the first vaccination, which means that the types of viruses in the combined vaccine can be increased. Of course, it also depends on the physical strength of the dog at that time.

(2) Booster immunization

The booster immunization vaccine refers to the prevention and immunization of dogs against infectious diseases. Regarding the injection of rabies vaccine, dogs raised in mainland China can start the injection at the age of 12 weeks and above, and the injection is sufficient once a year. It is not necessary to boost the immunization multiple times in the same year.

The second immunization is performed 3 to 4 weeks after the first vaccination, which is called the second vaccination. At this time, the canine infectious disease vaccine is still injected. The dog's age in months and doctor's recommendation).

If your dog's first dose is the 2-vaccine or if your dog is more delicate, such as Yorkshire, Chihuahua, These are susceptible and refractory puppies, such as mini dogs, and it is recommended that the third immunity be performed 3 to 4 weeks after the second immunity. It looks like you spent an extra vaccinate and the dog suffered an extra shot, but we have to consider that once these puppies get sick, it is not only the pain caused by the blood and injection treatment, but also the pain caused by the injection. Endanger their lives, don't take it lightly, because the small loses the big. The three-immunity vaccine is also an injection of dog infectious disease vaccines. You can choose vaccines with more types of viruses such as 6 or 8 combinations.

Yuanyuan is a lucky puppy. Although she was infected with the canine distemper virus, it is fortunate that she was treated early and her own resistance is not bad. She is considered cured, so don't be lazy. Do a good job in the immunization program, do not miss it or do it less!

To sum up, the puppies need at least two injections of canine infectious disease vaccine and one rabies vaccine to complete their immunity. Dogs need an additional booster immunization.


Adequate sleep is the first thing to ensure, just like a baby, only a good rest can ensure sufficient energy in the body, and secondly, you can increase the dog's drinking water appropriately The significance of supplementing the amount and immune polysaccharide is to speed up the body's metabolism and provide carrier supplements. Finally, and most importantly, puppies who have not completed the immunization program are not recommended to go out to play or walk. I even recommend bathing puppies after at least two immunizations, as these are man-made ways to reduce accidental infections.
