The days of March are getting warmer and warmer, so it's time to start vaccinating! In addition to using a leash to take your dog out for a walk, pooper scoopers should not forget to take your dog to get vaccinated in time!

　　1、How many vaccinations do dogs need in their lifetime

　　The best time for dogs to get vaccinated should be within 45-60 days after birth, before the vaccine first worm. The first year of the dog in the vaccination, every interval of 21 days to play a shot to prevent infectious diseases. It is important to note that dogs need to be 3 months old before they can receive the rabies vaccine, which is the first immunization. For each year after that, the dog has to be scheduled one month earlier than before for another vaccination against infectious diseases and rabies vaccination until the dog passes away.

　　The reason why you need to have your dog vaccinated at an interval of about 21 days at the beginning is that dogs usually gradually become effective about 10 days after vaccination, and it takes 2-3 weeks to produce enough antibodies (that is, days 15-21), so an interval of 15 days is also possible.

　　However, there is a peak around the 20th-21st day, and after 21 days, it starts to decline. Choosing the 21-day interval for the second booster shot will stimulate higher antibody potency without the problem of immunization overtime.

　　The role of dog vaccination is to effectively strengthen resistance to prevent diseases such as microcephaly, distemper, enteritis, rabies, etc., which can prevent dogs from infecting each other before, and can also play a protective role for humans. Of course, a reliance on vaccine prevention is not enough, pooper scooper in daily life should also often use the leash to take the dog exercise, play, enhance physical fitness, in order to better maintain a healthy state.

　　2、What kind of dogs can not be vaccinated

　　Theoretically, as long as the healthy dogs can be vaccinated. However, depending on the survival status of the dog, such as a weak cold or just adopted, rescued dogs are not recommended to vaccinate immediately, but should first be observed at home for a period of time.

　　This is because vaccines are essentially a different form of "virus" and dogs can become infected or undesirable due to emergency reactions that can lead to a decline in fitness or incubation period of the disease. This is why dogs need to be wormed before vaccines and should not be bathed for some time after vaccines. Likewise, dogs that are too young (less than 6 weeks of age) should not be given the commonly known six vaccines too early because of the presence of maternal antibodies in their bodies.

　　However, the possibility of adverse reactions to any dog vaccination cannot be completely ruled out. Some dogs may only show a low fever, wilting or redness at the injection site, which can generally subside on their own in 2-3 days, while individual cases of severe allergies should be seen by the hospital in time.

　　3, how to choose the dog's vaccine

　　We often hear that there are "diphtheria", "quadruple" and "sextuple" vaccines for dogs, and these three numbers actually represent the types of dog diseases that can be prevented.

　　Duplex vaccine: Distemper and canine microvirus; suitable for healthy dogs over 30 days old.

　　Quadruple vaccine: canine distemper, canine microvirus, canine parainfluenza, canine adenovirus; for dogs around 50 days old, or just get the quintuple vaccine.

　　Six vaccines: canine distemper, canine parvovirus, canine parainfluenza, canine adenovirus type I and II (canine infectious hepatitis, canine infectious tracheitis) and leptospirosis; around 90 days.

　　Of course we don't simply give a vaccination to a dog at a certain stage, but we match it to the age and status of the dog.

　　0-4 months: diphtheria + quadruple vaccine + sextuple vaccine + rabies

　　4-8 months: Tetralogy of Fallot + Tetralogy of Fallot + Hexalogy of Fallot + Rabies vaccine

　　8 months and above: DPT + DPT + DPT + Rabies vaccine
