Does my puppy need all her vaccinations if she's getting spayed?

The core vaccines are Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella. She will need boosters for the Distemper and possibly the Bordetella (depends on the vaccine formula). Depending on local disease prevalence, Leptospirosis and Lyme vaccines may also be recommended (these will also need boosters). Speak with your veterinarian about what vaccines are needed in your area. I also recommend microchipping Lilly during her procedure. https://www.petcoach.co/article/the-importance-of-microchipping-your-pet/ I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Congrats on your new puppy! Some vaccines depend on where you live but the core vaccines are as follows: Distemper/adenovirus/parvo/parainfluenza- this is a combination vaccine given in a series 3-4 weeks apart Rabies- the age given depends on your area but usually at 16 weeks of age The optional vaccines are: Leptospirosis- 2 given 3-4 weeks apart Lyme- 2 given 3-4 weeks apart Bordetella- may or may not be given twice Flu- given 2-3 weeks apart. I recommend contacting a vet to set up an initial appointment. They can go over these in more detail and tailor them to Gnocchi’s lifestyle. They will also talk to you about intestinal parasite screening and heartworm and flea prevention. They can then discuss the spay procedure and get Gnocchi scheduled. Good luck and kisses to Gnocchi!

Go ahead and get her seen by your vet for a wellness exam. If she is healthy, they will likely go ahead and give her her first combination vaccination, which should include protection against parvovirus and distemper at least. Then 3-4 weeks later, she can receive her booster and her rabies vaccination, provided she is indeed over four months of age. That should give her enough protection as she is weaned and the maternal antibodies she would get by nursing won't interfere with her immune response to the vaccinations. Then she'll be on schedule for her vaccinations and can be spayed.

She should be good for a year. Ask your veterinarian to be sure, some areas allow the use of multiple year vaccinations, meaning once they reach adulthood and receive the vaccination, your pet can go for two or even three years before needing a booster. It depends on the frequency of certain disease in your area and what the local law is.

She could have been spayed anytime after 6 months of age. The more heat cycles she goes through, the greater risk she has of developing mammary gland tumors later in life. As she gets older, the risk of uterine infection (pyometra) will also increase. The rabies vaccine should have been administered at between 12-16 weeks of age. She should have received a booster at 1 year of age. After that one, she can get a rabies vaccine every 3 years. The "5 way vaccine", does not include rabies. This vaccine can be given yearly or every 3 years depending on which company makes it.

She will need to have the Distemper/parvo combination vaccine every 3-4 weeks until she is 15 weeks of age. She will need a Rabies vaccine between 12-16 weeks of age. If she is going to board at a kennel, attend puppy classes, go to dog parks, etc. then she may need a kennel cough vaccine and an influenza vaccine. She might also need a leptospirosis vaccine depending on her risk of being exposed as well as a Lyme vaccine. The best thing would be to talk to your vet about which vaccines are necessary for her depending on your location and lifestyle of your dog.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Blueberry. Most veterinarians will vaccinate early if it closer to the due dates as long as the patient is healthy. So if she has fully recovered from her spay, it should be fine to vaccinate her at that time. I hope this information helps!

It depends on what the breeder or the rescue has done prior to your adopting/purchasing the puppy. Be sure to get full records of any treatments that have been performed, including vaccinations, deworming, and microchip placement. All puppies should have 3 vaccinations against distemper/parvo and a rabies vaccination. Depending on location and lifestyle, bordetella (kennel cough) and leptospirosis may also be recommended. Good luck with your puppy!

You should go to one of the VETCO vaccination clinics inside your local Petco and they can explain everything to you about vaccinations and deworming. Here is the link to the clinics/times in your area. ( https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/?zip=18020 ) As for getting her spayed, I would get the vaccination series done first and then have her spayed.

Hi there! She will need to have a check-up with your veterinarian and her first set of vaccines as soon as you get her. After that, it's fine for her to be around healthy vaccinated dogs, sign up for puppy kindergarten classes, etc. - but I would not take her dog parks or other high-traffic areas with lots of unknown dogs until she is completely finished with her vaccine series at 16+ weeks of age. Some umblical hernias are harmless and don't need to be fixed, while others do. Your veterinarian should be able to determine this at the time of her exam. If the hernia does need to be repaired, this can usually be done at the same time as her spay to avoid having to have two separate anesthetic procedures. Dogs are typically spayed at around 4-6 months of age. This can often be scheduled in conjunction with the pup's last set of vaccines, if you wish. Cost for a spay and hernia repair will vary widely depending on where you live and which specific vet clinic you go to, so I would
