When do puppies lose parvo immunity and need their first vaccine?

Question

What is the absolute youngest a newborn puppy is no longer immune to parvo? My doggo had a litter of puppies a week ago and unfortunately we have the CPV in our yard. When will they be able to catch parvo? What age should we vaccinate them?

Dr. Davis · Accepted Answer

If the mother dog was vaccinated recently she will pass on maternal antibiotics that will protect the puppies. You can start their vaccinations at six weeks and I recommend boosters every three weeks until they are 15 weeks old. That will protect then as the mother’s antibodies wear off.
