How often should my dog be vaccinated?

A puppy's basic immunisation is normally started in the 8th week of life. A booster is then recommended in the 12th and 16th week. A further vaccination is given after around 15 months, which completes the basic immunisation. Depending on the vaccine, booster immunisations are then scheduled every one to three years.

Check with your breeder - normally the puppy has already received its first vaccinations when it is handed over.
