It is very important to vaccinate your dog and it is also a very important part of a total dog health care program. However knowing what to vaccinate for and how often to give your dog vaccines are two very important questions. Regular vaccinations can prevent your dog from contracting many diseases. Overall, the two most important viruses to vaccinate for are canine parvovirus and canine distemper.

Most vets agree that it is vital to vaccinate puppies at 6 weeks of age and again at 8, 12, and 16 weeks for Distemper, Canine Infectious Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, and Coronavirus (DHLPPC). It is also suggested that puppies are vaccinated for rabies at six months of age and then to repeat it annually.

It is of vital importance that your pet be groomed on a regular basis. Dirt and grime can get caught in the dog hair and may cause matting and tangles, which can be difficult to get out. Most cases if bad enough they will have to be cut out. Fleas and ticks attach themselves to your dogs skin. Without proper groomer the parasites may go undetected for sometime.
