Can my puppy get his second vaccinations earlier than scheduled?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 3 days old

My 13 week old shih tzu puppy is a week away from getting his second round of vaccinations. Is he able to get them this weekend or does he have to wait this last week?

It's good that you are keeping up with vaccines to help keep him healthy. Generally booster vaccines can be given 3-4 weeks from the previous vaccine, so you may be able to get it done without having to wait another week. I recommend you call your vet to book an appointment for Reptar's (great name, by the way!) vaccine booster and to confirm the timing.
