Vaccination of dogs

Vaccination is the best way to prevent your dog from contracting several diseases that are dangerous to him or her, but sometimes to you. Some diseases which can be prevented by vaccination are zoonoses, i.e. they can be transmitted from animal to human.

If some diseases are curable when they are treated on time, others do not have treatments or seriously threaten your dog's life.

What are the essential vaccines for a dog?

Vaccines considered essential for all dogs include:

on CHPPi (also noted DHPPi):

• C: Carré's disease
• H: Rubarth hepatitis (canine adenovirus)
• P: Parvovirosis
• Pi: Parainfluenza (in some formulations)

Leptospirosis : First dose from 9 weeks, with a booster one month later, then annual recalls.

Optional and mandatory vaccines

Other vaccines may be recommended depending on the environment and the dog's lifestyle:
