what r the guidelines for shots and worm meds 4 puppies?

Answer 1

It really depends on where you live as to how often and how many shots should be given to your dog.

Here in Texas, you give them their shots in three week intervals. First time, you give them their combo shot (DHLPP or DHPP depending on your type of dog) and de-worm them. Three weeks later, you give them another combo shot and their bordatella (if you plan on taking your dog to a dog park or bording them). Three weeks after that, another combo shot AND their first rabies. Then finally, one more shot which will be a booster combo shot.

After a year, you take your dog back for another combo shot and it's three-year rabies. You then continue to give them the combo shot yearly and then every three years, give them their three-year rabies booster.

But, like I said, it depends on where you live. So, call your local vet and ask them what they require in your state because they do vary.
