Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Pd and Jacky are adorable! DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, Parvo and Parainfluenza) vaccines are started around 7-8 weeks of age and are given every 3-4 weeks until 2 are given past 12 weeks of age. So they usually get 3-4 DHPP vaccines. If they are over 12 weeks already then they should get TWO DHPP vaccines 3-4 weeks apart. The 2nd vaccine is good for 1 year. The following vaccines are good for 3 years. In the US the rabies vaccine is give around 12-16 weeks of age. I hope this helps and I wish you all the best!
