UP-TO-DATE-VACCINATION.
Puppy Vaccination Schedule
Vaccinations are crucial for your new puppy’s health and safety, as they provide essential protection against several dangerous diseases. These vaccinations help to ensure that your puppy remains healthy and protected from common infectious diseases that can cause severe health issues. We pay special attention to the Rabies vaccine, as it is a vital requirement for travel and protection against this fatal virus. Our vaccination schedule meets international standards, and we are committed to ensuring that your puppy can go to its new home as soon as possible. Below is a detailed vaccination schedule, designed to ensure your puppy is fully vaccinated before embarking on any journey.
Vaccination Schedule
6 weeks
The Parvo vaccination is given when your puppy is 6 weeks old. It is essential that the vaccine is administered before the end of the suckling period to ensure that your puppy is protected from the deadly parvovirus. This vaccination is coupled with deworming treatment to ensure your puppy stays parasite-free.
11 weeks
At 11 weeks, the puppy receives a booster of core vaccinations to reinforce immunity. A deworming treatment is also included at this time to ensure your puppy’s digestive system remains healthy
Kennel Cough Vaccine (Nobivac KC)
The Kennel Cough vaccine (Nobivac KC) is administered at 11 weeks. This vaccine protects against a highly contagious respiratory infection that can spread quickly in environments with many dogs, such as kennels and dog parks.
8 weeks
At 8 weeks, the puppy’s immune system is ready for the first DHPPi/L combination shot, which provides protection against Distemper, Canine Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza and Leptospirosis. Following this vaccination, deworming treatment is also administered to ensure your puppy’s continued health.
12 weeks
The Rabies vaccine is given once the puppy is 12 weeks (84 days) old or, in some countries, 3 months (90 days) old. The Rabies vaccine is mandatory for international travel. This vaccine is crucial for preventing the fatal Rabies virus and ensuring that your puppy can travel safely. In some cases, a Rabies vaccination may be accepted from 12 weeks of age. We will arrange the vaccination promptly to ensure the puppy can travel without delays, once the travel destination permits.
The first Rabies vaccination is valid for 1 year, but some countries accept a shorter validity period, like 6 months in Hungary. There are also 3-year versions of the vaccine, but they are not accepted in many countries. For this reason, at NewDoggy, we work with the 1-year version to ensure compliance with international travel regulations. Any vaccines given after the first one are valid for 1 year.
15 weeks (optional)
Some countries require a test (RNATT) at 15 weeks of age (or 4 months old) to verify that your puppy has developed sufficient immunity to the Rabies virus after vaccination. This test is mandatory for travel to certain countries, and your puppy will only be eligible for travel once it passes the test, ensuring proper immunity. We only conduct these tests in internationally accepted and authorized laboratories.
