🐾 Puppy Vaccines Save Lives 🐾
One of the most important things you can do for your new puppy is start a vaccination plan early, typically beginning around 6–7 weeks of age, or as soon as your new puppy joins your family, even if they are older.
Parvovirus is still one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases we see in puppies, despite being highly preventable with proper vaccination. Parvo is extremely contagious, causes severe illness, and can still be deadly, even with treatment.
The good news? We are saving more puppies today than ever before thanks to advances in veterinary medicine and early intervention. But prevention remains the best protection. Your puppy’s vaccine series (3 to 4 boosters depening on age) helps build immunity during the most vulnerable stage of life and protects against dangerous diseases like:
✔️ Parvovirus ✔️ Distemper ✔️ Leptospirosis
Keeping your puppy on schedule with vaccines, boosters, deworming, and wellness exams gives them the healthiest start possible. ❤️
If you recently added a new puppy or young adult to your family, give us a call to discuss the best vaccination plan for them! 🐶
