Vaccinations

New puppies should be vaccinated 4 times in the first 4 months. This is my schedule of vaccinations for puppies:

  • 6 weeks – Nobivac® Canine 1-DAPPvL2+Cv 8
  • 9 weeks
    • Nobivac® Canine 1-DAPPvL2+Cv 8
    • Nobivac® Lyme Vaccine for Dogs
  • 12 weeks
    • Nobivac® Canine 1-DAPPvL2+Cv 8
    • Nobivac® Lyme Vaccine for Dogs
    • Rabies – must be given by a veterinarian (for public health reasons, to ensure it is done right)
  • 19 or 20 weeks
    • Nobivac® Canine 1-DAPPvL2+Cv 8

Because I have so many dogs, I do my own vaccinations (except rabies) to both puppies and adults. The vaccines require only subcutaneous injections, which are quite easy to administer. Your vet can show you how or watch a YouTube video. You may want someone to hold the dog while you do the injection.

All my pups leave fully vaccinated up to 12 weeks. I offer purchasers syringe dose kits to do their own vaccination at 19-20 weeks, though most choose to go to their veterinarians for that final shot.

Vaccines (as well as needles wormers and other good stuff) are available via single dose online from
