Hi, my dog is 7 weeks old now. He already got Canine Distemper Adenovirus Type 2 - Parainfluenza-Paevovirus Vaccine. When should I go for another vaccinations and chipping ? He will travel to Europe with me so he needs more vaccinations than normal dog in US. Thank you

If you are planning to export him to Europe, then you should first look up all of the requirements needed for the specific country you are going to. You can find this information at the Country's agriculture import website. When you find the information, you should read it thoroughly and get a good understanding of the requirements prior to having his next vaccine. Many times these countries require the dog be microchipped in order for the vaccine to be valid. Also, you will want to make sure you get the appropriate microchip ( Usually the ISO chip). Marlo should get his next vaccine around 10- 11 weeks. I would first make sure that you have a vet who is certified to sign health certificates. If they are not, then find one that is and make appointments with only that vet in the future. Preferably you want to see a vet that has experience in overseas exports. All of this will help you avoid mistakes and having problems when exporting Marlo. I hope that helps and all goes well.
