FAQs
Curious about dog vaccines?
We’ve fetched the answers to pet parents’ most common questions.
The cost of dog vaccinations varies from clinic to clinic, so it’s best to get in touch with your local clinic to find out how much they charge. Remember, annual core vaccinations are covered under our Wellness Plans so you can keep your pets protected for one low monthly fee.
There are some core vaccines that all dogs need to protect them against common diseases. Your vet may also recommend other non-core vaccines based on your dog’s lifestyle and location. The most common vaccines for dogs include:
- C3 vaccine: The essential vaccine that protects against parvovirus, canine distemper and canine infectious hepatitis. Boosters are given every three years.
- Kennel cough vaccine: Provides protection against bordetella bronchiseptica and parainfluenza virus, common causes of respiratory infections. Boosters are recommended yearly.
- C5 vaccine: A combination of C3 and kennel cough vaccines for broader protection. The C5 vaccine gives your dog the best protection from serious illnesses.
- Leptospirosis vaccine: Important if you live in an area with standing water or a high rat population. Puppies require a booster 2-4 weeks after the first dose, with annual boosters for adults.
Your dog’s vaccination schedule will depend on their age, health, lifestyle and where you live. Core vaccines like the C3 and C5 require a booster every one to three years. Kennel cough and leptospirosis vaccines need annual boosters, depending on your dog’s exposure risks. Your vet will be able to develop a tailored vaccination plan for your dog.
Puppy vaccinations are given during the first few months of their life. The typical schedule is as follows; however, this can vary based on your location and your vet’s chosen vaccine.
- First vaccination: 6-8 weeks
- Second vaccination: 10-12 weeks
- Third and final ‘booster’ vaccination: 14-16 weeks
To maintain immunity against these diseases, your puppy will need booster vaccinations every one to three years. Your vet will recommend a vaccination schedule suitable for your pup.
The C3 vaccine is an essential core vaccine that protects dogs against three highly contagious diseases: canine parvovirus, canine distemper and canine infectious hepatitis.
