How often do dogs need to be vaccinated?

Dogs generally receive their first vaccine injection around 45 days after birth, and three injections in succession, usually around 21 days apart. Adult dogs are vaccinated once a year to strengthen their immunity. Vaccines must be injected in regular pet hospitals and administered by professional medical staff.

Precautions for dog vaccination

1. Vaccines must be injected in regular pet hospitals to avoid improper use by non-professionals, which may cause the vaccine to lose efficacy.

2. Conduct a physical examination of the dog before injecting the vaccine. The dog should be vaccinated when it is in good health. Since the vaccine is attenuated, if the dog's immunity is low at this time, not only will it not be able to protect it, but it will have negative effects.

3. If the dog has just entered a new environment, it may have a stress reaction. This situation will cause the dog's immunity to be low, and it is not suitable for vaccination. It is recommended to familiarize itself with the new environment for half a month.

4. The dog’s daily diet should pay attention to nutritional balance. The lack of vitamin A and vitamin E will suppress the production of antibodies.

5. Do not bathe or go out for one week after vaccination.

6. A small number of dogs will have vaccine allergy reactions, so it is best to check in the hospital for half an hour after the injection before leaving.

7. It is normal for dogs to experience symptoms such as increased body temperature and lethargy after injection, and they will generally return to normal within 2 hours.

8. Do not give antibiotics, anthelmintics and other drugs to your dog within 3 days of vaccination.
