Why should I vaccinate my puppy?

Vaccinations are essential in order to protect your puppy from contagious and potentially fatal diseases.

Your puppy can be exposed to many common but preventable diseases that exist in the environment. Some of these can pass between dogs. Whilst these diseases can be successfully treated, many are very serious and potentially fatal despite the best treatment. It is necessary to build your dog’s immunity when they are young by ensuring they have and complete their vaccination program.

Vaccinations and socialisation

Socialising your puppy with dogs and humans from a young age is fundamental in reducing behavioural problems and ensuring they grow into a friendly adult.

During the puppy vaccination stage, it is best to avoid dogs parks or mixing with other dogs, especially if you’re unsure of their vaccination status. Mixing with other puppies, say in puppy school is fine as they are all at the same or similar stage of their vaccination schedules. We recommend you introduce your puppy to new people and places 10-14 days after they completed their last vaccination. Interacting with other dogs can be tricky as there are many diseases, they can pass between them. Introduce your puppy to dogs that you know have been vaccinated, and taking care to avoid areas that unknown dogs have been in.
Only once your puppy has completed the full 14-16 week vaccination schedule, and you are certain they are protected and healthy, should you take them for walks in public parks or introduce them to other dogs. Remember that vaccines take 1-2 weeks after the final injection to fully protect your pet.
