Puppy Shots Schedule

Getting your puppy vaccinated helps to protect your new bundle of fur from a wide range of serious, highly contagious diseases. During their first year, your puppy should see the vet several times for vaccines and booster shots to ensure that they are protected. We recommend following this puppy vaccination schedule from our South Charlotte vets.

What shots do puppies need?

Getting a new puppy is certainly an exciting time, but along with all the love and cuddles comes some new and important responsibilities. Your new four-legged family member is going to need to be fed a healthy diet, be treated with patience as they work on becoming house trained, and be taken to the vet to receive their puppy shots and any required parasite protection products necessary.

Below is the vaccination schedule that our vets at Sharon Lakes Animal Hospital recommend for puppies in South Charlotte.

The Importance of Puppy Vaccinations

Our vets believe that getting your puppy vaccinated is an essential part of your pet's annual preventive health care. By getting your dog vaccinated early in life, and regularly throughout their lifetime, you help to provide your pooch with their best chance of living a long, and healthy life.

Vaccines can protect your puppy against a number of serious, often fatal diseases such as rabies, hepatitis, and parvovirus. When it comes to caring for your canine companion, prevention is always better than treatment.
