Recommended Vaccines for Puppies

The staff of MBF is dedicated to the health and well-being of your puppy. Since their immune systems are still developing, just like human children, they require multiple rounds of vaccinations to make sure they are protected against common diseases. The following wellness schedule has been adopted to help us ensure your puppy stays healthy as they mature. This schedule includes vaccinations, intestinal parasite prevention, blood work to monitor organs and overall health, heartworm prevention, and flea/tick prevention.

Factors such as age, health, and previously administered vaccines may result in adjusting our vaccine schedule to your pup’s specific needs. Vaccines are typically given 2-4 weeks apart.
