Vaccines for Puppies & Dogs

As part of our commitment to preventative healthcare, we recommend a vaccination plan for all our furry patients. Vaccines aren’t one-size-fits-all so we provide individualized advice based on your pet’s needs and risk factors of contracting certain diseases. We want to protect your pet against preventable diseases that would otherwise cause serious health issues.

What vaccines does my puppy need?

Vaccines are separated into required (core) and risk-based (non-core), depending on how susceptible your puppy is to certain diseases. Their mother’s milk provides some antibodies that fight against diseases when they’re first born but this protection does not last long. To set up a vaccination plan for your pet, please contact 613-634-7474. Puppies should get the following vaccines, starting during their first few weeks of life:

• Rabies
• Distemper
• Adenovirus-2
• Parvovirus

What vaccines does my dog need?

The range of time between booster shots depends on the specific vaccines. It could range from 1-3 years but it’s essential that your pet’s vaccination plan is updated annually. Your canine friend will need boosters for the following vaccines all throughout their adult and senior life:

• Rabies
• Distemper
• Adenovirus-2
• Parvovirus
• Rabies
• Bordetella (non-core)
• Influenza (non-core)
• Leptospirosis (non-core)
• Lyme Disease (non-core)
