CORE vaccines for puppies

These are considered essential regardless of lifestyle:

• Distemper (CDV)
• Adenovirus (Hepatitis)
• Parvovirus
• Parainfluenza (often combined)
• Rabies (required by Texas law)

These are typically given in a series every 2–4 weeks from ~6–16 weeks of age

Texas law requires that all dogs and cats receive a rabies vaccination by four months of age, as outlined in Texas Administrative Code Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 169, Rule 169.29. After the initial vaccination, dogs must receive booster shots at intervals based on the type of vaccine administered.

NON-CORE vaccines are based on environment and lifestyle riskRecommended depending on exposure, location, or activities:

• Bordetella (kennel cough)
• Leptospirosis
• Lyme disease

  → (These 3 are combined as FVRCP)

Texas law requires that all dogs and cats receive a rabies vaccination by four months of age, as outlined in Texas Administrative Code Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 169, Rule 169.29. After the initial vaccination, dogs must receive booster shots at intervals based on the type of vaccine administered.
