If a small dog appears in your house, then it will be interesting for you to find out what vaccinations puppies take for a year. Now we will describe in detail how and when to vaccinate.

Why vaccinate dogs?

Scientists have long proven that if a person or animal gets sick with some disease, then repeated infection for the body will pass quite unnoticed. This phenomenon is due to the formation of immunity to a particular irritant.

Immunity happens to be primary and acquired. In order to develop a second type of immunity in the dog , vaccinations are needed. They promote the development of antibodies in the body of the animal, which in the future will be able to destroy viruses and infections. The term of acquired immunity can be different - from fifteen days to two or more years.

If you get vaccinated in a timely manner, you can be sure that the puppy will not fall ill with the disease with which she is called to fight.

When should I vaccinate puppies for a year? How to choose the right vaccine? What is the first injection? So, about everything in order.

Let's start with the fact that the puppy, which is on natural feeding, is obtained together with milk and its first immunity. After he is weaned, he will need additional protection. The first vaccination for a small puppy should be done in two months. Until then, you can not take it out for walks, to communicate with relatives, and also put at risk of contracting infectious and cold diseases.

The rules of vaccination

When should the animal be vaccinated? Usually the first vaccinations are given to puppies in 2 months. Earlier experts do not advise to carry out such manipulations.

Before vaccination it is important to observe the following conditions:

1. Two weeks before the proposed vaccination, it is necessary to give the puppies an anthelmintic preparation. Now a large number of such drugs have been developed, both imported and domestic. You can buy them in any vet clinic.
2. Only vaccinated puppies are allowed to be vaccinated. If the dog is sick, vaccination should be postponed until it is fully healed.

Varieties of vaccine and disease

Talking about the vaccinations given to puppies for up to a year, one can not help but dwell on the diseases that they are called upon to combat. So, let's list them.

• Rabies. The disease is very dangerous, it can even be transmitted from a sick animal to a person, so a vaccination against rabies should be made to the puppy necessarily. In addition, dogs are hard to tolerate such a disease, in the absence of treatment, in most cases, unfortunately, perish. A vaccine against rabies is easily tolerated by the body of the animal, so do not be lazy once a year to help your pet's organism develop immunity to this dangerous disease.
• Parvovirus gastroenteritis is an intestinal disease that leads to complete dehydration of the animal's body .
• Chomka is an infectious disease. It very often leads to the death of a dog. The vaccine is easily transferred to the vaccine against the plague, only some dogs become lethargic, lose their appetite. But this malaise goes through a couple of days.
• Leptospirosis is another dangerous infectious disease that often leads to fatal outcomes. The vaccine is done for preventive purposes.

Now there are many varieties of vaccinations, which can be divided into two groups:

• Monovaccines (against one disease);
• Complex vaccinations (against several diseases).

Preferably, of course, a comprehensive vaccination. So you can protect the dog immediately from many diseases, using only one shot.

Often after the first vaccination in animals, the temperature rises, diarrhea and weakness appear. The owner must do everything to alleviate the condition of the dog.

And when is the second vaccination given to the puppy? A month after the first. Remember, vaccinating the puppy again, you should use the same drug as the first time. After the second vaccination, usually the puppies feel good. But all the same, within two weeks after the vaccination, you should not take the dog out for walks, it must be protected from drafts, and also from communication with relatives.

In six months, when the puppy has already changed teeth to permanent, a complex and inoculation against rabies is done. Note that if the change of milk teeth did not end before this period, it is better to wait.

In one year the dog is vaccinated with a complex preparation. The procedure is repeated every year.
