Hello! Congratulations on your new puppy! Getting a new furry friend is so exciting, and it's great that you're checking on their vaccinations—keeping your puppy healthy is very important.
To determine if your puppy is fully vaccinated, you'll need to know their age and vaccination history. Puppies usually start their vaccine series around 6-8 weeks of age and continue every 3-4 weeks until they're about 16-20 weeks old. The core vaccines typically include those that protect against distemper, parvovirus, and rabies.
You should have received a vaccination record from the breeder, shelter, or previous owner. If you didn’t, it’s best to contact them for this information. Meanwhile, if your puppy hasn’t started vaccinations, or missed some, make an appointment with a vet to get back on track.
At home, ensure your puppy doesn’t interact with unknown dogs and avoid places where dogs congregate, like parks, until their vaccinations are up-to-date.
Watch for signs of illness like coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, as these could indicate diseases that vaccines protect against. If you notice any of these, get in touch with a vet promptly.
For a personalized vaccination plan and to ensure your puppy is on the right track, consider booking a video consult with us at Dial A Vet. We'd be happy to help!

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
