Prevent Dog Parvo
Filed Under Dog Parvo Information |
Dog parvo prevention is really the same as rabies prevention; you just have to make sure your dog has all of their necessary vaccinations.
Vaccinations should start after the puppy is 6 to 8 weeks old. Up until that point, a puppy is typically protected against most sicknesses because its mother’s anti-bodies are still flowing through it’s blood. But now it has to build up its own system of protection.
The initial shot is followed by booster shots in the following weeks, followed by a yearly one after that to keep the protection up. Unless your dog is of a particularly susceptible breed, it’s probably safe to discontinue the booster shots after a few years.
As always, talk to your vet to get your dog on an appropriate vaccination schedule to minimize the risks of this deadly virus.
