You’re doing great by keeping an eye on your puppy’s vaccination schedule. Ensuring timely vaccinations is crucial for your puppy’s health and helps protect your pet from various diseases.
- Your puppy can continue with his vaccination schedule without delay.
- Following the recommended vaccination timeline is essential for full protection.
- Check with your vet to confirm the specific vaccines your puppy needs at this age.
Puppies have a series of vaccinations that start at around 6-8 weeks and continue until they are about 16-18 weeks old. At 22 weeks, your puppy should be ready for any vaccinations that are due according to the schedule your veterinarian has recommended. It’s important to follow this schedule closely, as delaying vaccinations can leave your puppy vulnerable to preventable diseases.
