Vaccinations
We believe in taking good care of your puppies and making sure that they have a healthy start in life. They will see a Veterinarian from Sunbury Animal Hospital between 6-8 weeks where the doctor checks their hips, eyes, heart and checks for any defects or potential problems. They are given a health certificate that will go home with them.
At 5 weeks we give them a shot of Neopar this vaccinates them against the parvo-virus and at 7 weeks we give them a shot of Vanguard 5. This prevents against canine distemper (CD) virus, infectious canine hepatitis (ICH), canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1), respiratory disease caused by adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), canine parainfluenza caused by canine parainfluenza virus (CPI), and canine parvoviral enteritis caused by canine parvo-virus (CPV).
When you take them home you must see a veterinarian within 72 hours in order to get set up with the continuation of these booster shots.
At twelve weeks Pennsylvania requires the Rabies shot.
