The following is a list of vaccinations that your pup will need with me and AFTER they go home.
There is not just one puppy vaccination schedule for all dogs. Factors such as which part of the country you live in, and your dog’s individual risk factors will come into play. Some dogs do not need every vaccine. This decision is between you and your veterinarian. Always discuss puppy vaccinations at your regularly scheduled appointments.
That said, here is a generally accepted guideline of the puppy vaccination schedule for the first year.
Your vet can suggest optional additional vaccinations.
4 weeks
Neo-Par. (Parvo Only) - Given by Spartan Rottweilers
6 AND 8 weeks
DHPP (vaccines for distemper, adenovirus [hepatitis],and type 2, parainfluenza, and parvovirus) - Given by Spartan Rottweilers
10 — 12 weeks
DHPP (vaccines for distemper, adenovirus [hepatitis], parainfluenza, and parvovirus)
16 — 18 weeks DHPP, rabies
12 — 16 months DHPP, rabies (if not already given)
Every 1 — 2 years. DHPP
Every 1 — 3 years. Rabies (as required by law)
How Much Do Puppy Vaccinations Cost?
How much puppy vaccinations will cost depends on several factors. Where you live is a big one: Veterinarians in crowded and expensive urban areas will generally charge more than a rural vet in a small town. You may be able to find low-cost clinics providing rabies vaccinations sponsored by your local municipal government. But no matter what the range in costs, some vaccines, such as the “core vaccines” and rabies, are necessary.
- The average cost can average around $75—100. These will include the core vaccines, which are administered in a series : at 6-, 8-, 12-, and 16 weeks old.
- The core vaccines can include (distemper, hepatitis, parvo, and parainfluenza). Your pup will also need a rabies vaccination, which is usually around $15—20. (Some clinics include the cost of the rabies vaccination with the visit.)
It is possible to give these basic vaccinations yourself... that's a video for another time.
