At Oasis Pet Clinic, we understand the vital role vaccinations play in maintaining your dog’s health throughout their life. Vaccinations protect against various diseases affecting dogs at different life stages, from puppyhood to their senior years. Here’s a guide to the essential vaccinations your dog needs and why they are so important.
6 to 16 Weeks: Puppies receive vaccinations at around six weeks. These typically include protections against parvovirus, distemper, and hepatitis. We also begin rabies vaccinations according to local law requirements. These early vaccinations are critical to build your puppy’s immune defenses against major contagious diseases.
Why It’s Important: Puppies are highly susceptible to infections as their immune systems are not fully developed. Starting vaccinations early helps provide them with the antibodies needed to fight off serious illnesses they could encounter in their environment.
1 to 2 Years Old: After completing their puppy vaccinations, adult dogs move to a regular vaccination schedule. This often includes booster shots for rabies, parvovirus, and distemper and evaluations for non-core vaccines based on lifestyle and risk, such as for Lyme disease, leptospirosis, and bordetella (kennel cough).
Why It’s Important: As your dog matures, maintaining updated vaccinations ensures that it continues to have immunity against diseases it was vaccinated for as puppies. This is crucial for their health and preventing the spread of diseases to other pets.
7 Years and Older: Senior dogs may have different vaccination needs based on their health and lifestyle. At this stage, we assess the necessity of continued boosters and may recommend adjusting their vaccination schedule to suit their aging immune system and reduce any potential vaccine load.
Why It’s Important: Older dogs can have weaker immune systems and may be more prone to side effects from certain vaccines. Tailoring vaccinations for senior dogs helps manage their health needs without overwhelming their system, focusing on maximizing quality of life and disease prevention.
Vaccinations are a key part of preventive health care in dogs and offer protection against potentially deadly diseases. They not only help keep your dog healthy but also contribute to the overall health of the pet community by preventing the spread of contagious diseases. Oasis Pet Clinic uses a thoughtful approach to determine the best vaccination plan for each dog, considering their age, medical history, and lifestyle.
Protecting your dog with vaccinations is one of the easiest ways to ensure they lead a long, healthy life. Schedule a consultation with us to discuss your dog’s vaccination needs and ensure they are protected at every stage of their life.
