When and how often do dogs get parvo shots?Is it a one time shot or annual?

Answer 1

Ditto, Lilbitt!

However, some vets will tell you when the pup becomes a senior, if he is not likely to get the disease, the risk of vaccination actually outweighs the risk of infection.

The safe bet is after 6 months, once a year, every year.

Good Luck:)

Answer 2

Besides keeping your dog in an isolation bubble the only prevention for Parvovirus is vaccinations. My veterinarian recommends puppy shots every three weeks until the age of 5 months. Make sure the vaccine is specifically for puppies since it has extra immunities not found in adult vaccines. Adult dogs should get yearly booster shots. Adults seldom contract Parvo since they build up an immunity to the virus over the years if they have been on a yearly vaccination schedule.

Answer 3

A puppy should be started on parvo shots at 5 to 6 wks, old,then should receive boosters every two wks. til it receives at least 4 vaccinations,and then repeat at one year of age and annually thereafter.

Answer 4

if you start vacitations early then its a series of 3 shots of differant vacitations starting at age 6 weeks 2 weeks after that and then 2 weeks after that and then they have to go yearly for a booster, hope this helps and good luck

Answer 5

Annual and bi-annual for puppies starting at 6 weeks.

Answer 6

this shot is given in series of 3, 3-4 weeks apart from the time your puppy is 8weeks until 16weeks. then after those initial shots it is given once every year.

Answer 7

It is several shots for puppies. 3 weeks apart.
Then it b/c a once a year thing when adult.
Now if its a breeding female (adult) 2 shots yearly.
Helps protect her during whelping & caring for her pups.

Answer 8

They get a series of at LEAST 2 (preferably 4) 3 weeks apart when they are puppies, then ONCE yearly.
