My puppy got shots early. When is the correct time for the next dose?

Question

I have kennel partner who made a mistake on his puppies shots. He mixed up what I told him about shots and deforming. I said shots at 6,9,12, and 15 weeks, and deworm at 2, 4, 6 weeks. He gave the pups shots at 4 and 6 weeks. So the pups are 9 weeks old now which is time for their 2nd set of shots, but already had them at 4 and 6 weeks. Should he give shots now to get them back on schedule? Or wait till 12 weeks to get them on schedual? Thank you I just don't want to tell him the wrong hing to d.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I recommend still giving the DHPP every 3-4 weeks until the puppies get 2 past 12 weeks of age. So give it now at 9 weeks, then 12 or 13 weeks and the final at 15-16 weeks. They will be fine getting it this way and keeps them protected. I wish you the best!
