Exceptions to the rules
Sometimes the vaccination schedule for a dog can shift. As a rule, this is due to the following factors:
- epidemiological situation in the region. If dangerous outbreaks are observed, puppies can begin to be vaccinated at 1 month of age with special vaccines.
- Forced early move. In this case, the dog is vaccinated no earlier than 1 month and no later than 10 days before the trip.
- Puppies growing up without a mother require special attention. On the one hand, they need to improve their immunity, and on the other hand, they need to be immunized in a sparing mode. In this case, vaccination of puppies starts at 6 weeks and then is fixed at 9 or 12 weeks.
