If Stela is fully vaccinated then she should be protecting her Puppies with the antibodies in her milk until they start weaning, in which case they should start vaccinations at 8 weeks of age. If she is not vaccinated then yes, I would start the vaccination series soon. I would also encourage you to reach out to your local veterinarian for the current recommendations on other types of vaccinations besides parvovirus that should be given in your area. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
