What are puppies vaccinated against?

Our 12 week old Springer Spaniel is due for his 2nd jab tomorrow. I would like to know what he will be vaccinated against.

Most typically distemper, parvo, adenovirus cough, hepatitis, and parainfluenza in a combo virus and rabies. Rabies is typically given at 12-16 weeks depending on state law.Some vets may also vaccinate for Bordetella, Coronavirus, Leptospirosis and Lyme depending on the area you live in, if you board your dog (in the case of Bordetella) and the individual vet.

It depends on your area and your vet. At twelve weeks in TN the dog would receive a Rabies vaccine as well as a DHLPPV. (distemper, hepititus, leptosporosis, parvo, and parainfluenza virus. If you live in a rural area, a shot for Lyme disease (from ticks) wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Some combination vaccines may also include leptospirosis (7-way vaccines) and/or coronavirus. The inclusion of either canine adenovirus-1 or adenovirus-2 in a vaccine will protect against both adenovirus cough and hepatitis; adenovirus-2 is highly preferred. **Some puppies may need additional vaccinations against parvovirus after 15 weeks of age. Consult with your local veterinarian.§ According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, dogs at low risk of disease exposure may not need to be boostered yearly for most diseases. Consult with your local veterinarian to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule for your dog. Remember, recommendations vary depending on the age, breed, and health status of the dog, the potential of the dog to be exposed to the disease, the type of vaccine, whether the dog is used for breeding, and the geographical area where the dog lives or may visit.Bordetella and parainfluenza: For complete canine cough protection, we recommend Intra-Trac II ADT. For dogs that are shown, in field trials, or are boarded, we recommend vaccination every six months with Intra-Trac II ADT.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------About the Author: Puppy-Toy-Tips.com : Learn great ways to use puppy toys for training and socializing your new pup.
