This dog vaccine protects your pet against canine distemper, adenovirus, para-influenza and parvovirus. It is initially administered along with your dog’s puppy shots at six to eight weeks old and then boostered one year after the final shot and once every three years thereafter.

Also known as kennel cough, this illness can be spread between dogs in close quarters with each other (at boarding facilities, dog parks, etc.). It is provided intranasally during your puppy’s first visit to our animal hospital, followed up by an injectable dose three to four weeks after. Subsequent doses will swap between intranasal and injectable administration.

Leptospirosis can cause severe liver and kidney damage and become fatal if left untreated. This is a zoonotic disease which means it can affect both humans and pets. It is typically spread through contact with infected wild animals, or infected water or urine. The first two doses are provided three to four weeks apart and then annually to ensure the best protection.

All dogs are required by law to receive the rabies vaccine included in their puppy shots at or after they are 12 weeks old. The rabies virus is often deadly, which can affect the brain and spinal cord of dogs and humans. Because of this, we can administer a booster shot one year later and then every three years thereafter.

This disease is most spread via a tick bite to both dogs and humans and may cause fever and lethargy, joint pain or lameness. We recommend speaking to your veterinarian to see if your dog should be vaccinated for Lyme disease.

Canine influenza is typically spread from sick dogs coughing or sneezing and/or moving people or contaminated objects between sick and healthy dogs. In other words, it is easily spread and doesn’t require direct contact to cause infection. Symptoms of the “dog flu” can be as minor as coughing, runny nose and fever or more serious and develop into pneumonia.
