Primary vaccination
Primary vaccination, Puppies may start their vaccination course as early as six weeks of age. As
most puppies are older than this when purchased, the need to consult your
veterinary surgeon immediately regarding the timing of vaccination cannot he
over- emphasised.
If you acquire an older puppy or adult dog of unknown
vaccination history, ask your veterinary surgeon for advice regarding vaccination straight away.
This allows your new
pet to have a general check-up.
Remember that the protective effects of
vaccination are not immediate and your veterinary surgeon will advise when your
puppy may be taken out for walks safely.
It is important that your puppy
socialises with other dogs and people early in life to avoid behavioural problems later.
