Young puppies, under 4months, need 3-4 sets of vaccinations depending on the protocol and company your veterinarian uses. These vaccinations will need to be given starting at 6-8 weeks and continuing every 2-4 weeks until the puppy is 4 months old at which time they will also receive their rabies vaccination. These puppy shots are very important in the prevention of the major puppy diseases like Parvo and Distemper which are common in the San Antonio area. Remember, too, that the puppy is not fully protected until all shots are given! Introducing pup to new people is important during this time but make sure to carry him/her in any location where you are unsure what other dogs have been there. This includes places like Petstores, Dog Parks, and apartment complex grass. Sick puppies could easily have visited these areas and left their germs behind.
