Puppies are typically vaccinated every 3-4 weeks until they are 16 weeks of age. I would make an appointment to have a vaccination done and then repeat a vaccine in 3-4 weeks. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

    The recommendations for puppy vaccinations are every 3-4 weeks until they are 16 weeks old. In fact, the immune system is more likely to respond favorably if you wait greater than 2 weeks in between vaccinations. Best of luck and enjoy your pup! Thank you for using Pet Coach.

    I can understand your concern. Unless your puppy is having current complicaitons from kennel cough and/or is feverish, you are ok to vaccinate Lucie as scheduled. Vaccinating a pet is only contraindicated when the pet is actively infected and has a weak energy immune system. We do this because vaccines will challenge the pets immune system greatly and can make an already sick pet even sicker. I hope this helps!
