Answer 3

Hi, Puppies should have injections for parvovirus,Distemper,Hepatitis,and Influenza, preferably done before mixing with other dogs so they dont contract anything. The injections should be one at 6-8 weeks, then 10-12 weeks then 14-16 weeks and  then 1 every year for the rest of their lives.

Answer 4

a puppies first vaccines should be started at 6 weeks of age and then repeated every 3-4 weeks until they are 16 weeks of age.  puppies are vaccinated for parvo, distemper, adenovirus, corona (sometimes), lepto (sometimes), bordetella (sometimes), and rabies.

Answer 5

You can start vaccines on puppies at 6 weeks of age.  The reason you can not before is because they still have immunities from their mother from nursing.  The first shots they will get will be in a series(which means that they will get several vaccines every three weeks up until at least 12-15 weeks of age.  The first vaccine will be distemper/parvo combo and possibly a bordatella vaccine(this will keep them from getting the upper repiratory infection - most commonly known as kennel cough - this is an airborne virus).  You can, however, start giving them some dewormer(strongid) starting at 2 weeks of age 1 x every 2 weeks- this will help rid of hookworms and roundworms which all puppies and kittens are born with.  Good luck with your puppy
