Thanks for the question! It's great that you're thinking carefully about your pup's health. The age of a puppy does indeed influence their vaccination schedule. Typically, puppies start their vaccines between 6 and 8 weeks old. This is when their mother's antibodies are beginning to wane, making it important to start protecting them against infectious diseases.
If your puppy is older than 8 weeks and hasn't started their vaccines yet, don't worry! Vets can adjust the schedule to ensure they catch up safely and effectively, which might involve a slightly altered timeline but will still provide full protection.
At home, ensure you keep your puppy away from places where they could be exposed to diseases, like dog parks, until they've had their full set of vaccinations.
Watch for signs of illness, such as lethargy, loss of appetite, or coughing, which might require immediate attention.
It's essential to keep everything on track, so if you're unsure about your puppy's vaccination needs or have any concerns, it's a great idea to book a video consult with Dial A Vet. This way, we can create a tailored plan for your puppy's health together!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
