* First vaccination: 6-8 weeks old
* Second vaccination: 3-4 weeks after the first, around 10-12 weeks old
* Booster: 1 year after the second vaccination, and then every 1-3 years depending on your vet's recommendation.
Important Note: It's crucial to follow your veterinarian's specific recommendations for your dog. Factors such as breed, health, and local prevalence of parvovirus can influence the vaccination schedule.
Here are some additional points to consider:
* Puppies: Puppies are most vulnerable to parvovirus between 6-20 weeks of age. They should be vaccinated as soon as possible after they are weaned.
* Vaccinated dogs: Even vaccinated dogs can still get parvovirus. However, the vaccine will significantly reduce the severity of the illness and the chances of death.
* Boosters: Booster vaccinations are crucial for maintaining immunity against parvovirus.
* Preventative measures: In addition to vaccination, other preventive measures like proper hygiene, avoiding contact with sick dogs, and keeping your dog's immune system strong are important.
Always consult your veterinarian to ensure your dog is properly protected against parvovirus. They can provide personalized advice based on your dog's individual needs.
