Always tell your vet if your dog has been unwell. Vaccines only work well in healthy dogs and can cause reactions in sick ones.
Worm infestations suppress the immune system. Deworm 2 weeks before vaccinating for best immunity response.
Many parents complete the puppy series and never return. Annual boosters are essential — immunity fades within 12-18 months.
Avoid dog parks and pet shops until 2 weeks after the 3rd DHPPiL dose. Parvo survives on surfaces for months.
Even 6-8 weeks late on annual boosters can leave your dog unprotected. Immunity drops faster than most people expect. Keep a reminder set for the same date each year.
