Vaccinations | Prime Pawline Co

Puppy vaccination schedule

Proper vaccination is critical to your puppy's health. At Prime Pawline Co we make sure every puppy — whether it's an Akita, American Pitbull, Australian Shepherd, Basset Hound, Beagle, Bichon Frisé, Border Collie, Boston Terrier, Boxer, Bull Terrier, Cane Corso, Cavachon, Chihuahua, Chow Chow, Cocker Spaniel, or Corgi — receives age-appropriate vaccinations before heading home.

Vaccinations administered before pickup

Every puppy receives the first series of core vaccines. The combination vaccine protects against:

Distemper (CDV): Highly contagious viral disease affecting the nervous, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems
Infectious canine hepatitis (CAV): Contagious liver inflammation caused by adenovirus type 1
Parvovirus: Extremely contagious and potentially life-threatening, especially for young puppies
Parainfluenza: Part of the kennel cough complex — causes respiratory infections
Leptospirosis: Bacterial infection transmitted by wildlife; also a human health risk

Recommended vaccination schedule

Your veterinarian will continue the schedule once you bring your puppy home. Here's the complete protocol:

Age	Vaccine	Notes
6–8 weeks	Core combination (1st dose)	Administered by Prime Pawline Co
10–12 weeks	Core combination (2nd dose)	Administered by Prime Pawline Co
14–16 weeks	Core combination (3rd dose) + rabies	Rabies required in the U.S.
1 year	Booster + rabies	First annual booster with your vet
Annually	Booster + rabies	Per your veterinarian's guidance

Important

Until your puppy has completed the full core series (3 doses), avoid contact with unvaccinated dogs and areas where dogs of unknown health status may have been. Keep your puppy in a safe environment during that window.

Optional vaccines

Depending on your puppy's lifestyle and your region, your veterinarian may recommend additional vaccinations:

Lyme disease: Recommended for dogs in tick-heavy regions, especially active breeds like the Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, and Beagle that spend lots of time outdoors
Kennel cough (Bordetella/Parainfluenza): Advisable for dogs with regular contact with other dogs — at training, boarding, daycare, or dog parks
Canine influenza: Recommended in some U.S. regions and for dogs that travel or attend group settings

Deworming protocol

Every Prime Pawline Co puppy is dewormed regularly starting at 2 weeks of age. Our protocol:

From 2 weeks: First deworming
Every 2 weeks through 12 weeks: Biweekly deworming
From 12 weeks to 6 months: Monthly deworming
From 6 months: Quarterly deworming (every 3 months)

After pickup

We recommend continuing quarterly deworming throughout your dog's life. For flea and tick protection, talk to your veterinarian about the best product for your region and your puppy's activity level.

Official vaccination record with every shot administered
Exact dates, brands, and lot numbers of every vaccine
