Hi there! Great question and good for you trying to be prepared. Puppies should start their vaccine protocol as soon as they leave Mom, which is usually about 8 weeks old. They should be vaccinated every 4 weeks until 16 weeks of age, then a booster 1 year later. Spay is usually recommended at around 6 months of age but this can be variable based on the breed. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
