Avoid Common Vaccination Mistakes
Missing Booster Vaccinations
Skipping booster doses reduces a dog’s protective immunity, increasing their susceptibility to preventable viral and bacterial infectious diseases.
Delaying Puppy Vaccinations
Delaying the primary puppy vaccination series leaves a young dog vulnerable during a critical period of immune development.
Vaccinating an Unhealthy Dog
Dogs with systemic illness, fever or significant immunosuppression must undergo proper veterinary assessment before receiving routine immunisations.
Ignoring Post-Vaccination Reactions
Facial oedema, prolonged lethargy, respiratory distress, and persistent vomiting require urgent veterinary evaluation to exclude severe adverse reactions.
Forgetting Vaccination Records
Ensure that all vaccination records are up to date with timely boosters. It simplifies travel requirements and enhances lifelong preventive healthcare.
Assuming Indoor Dogs Don't Need Vaccines
Even indoor dogs remain exposed to infectious pathogens through people, other animals, contaminated environments, and routine outdoor activities.
Missing Booster Vaccinations
Skipping booster doses reduces a dog’s protective immunity, increasing their susceptibility to preventable viral and bacterial infectious diseases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Core dog vaccines include DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus and Parainfluenza) and rabies. Additional non-core vaccines are recommended depending on a dog’s lifestyle and exposure risk.
The 7-in-1 vaccine protects against adenovirus (hepatitis), distemper, parvovirus, parainfluenza and multiple serovars of leptospira, offering strong protection against common infectious diseases.
Missing a vaccine booster may threaten your dog’s immunity. Consult a veterinarian to determine whether a booster dose is needed or a revised vaccination restart is required.
Puppies typically begin vaccination at 6-8 weeks, receive boosters every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks, followed by a booster at 1 year and regular boosters thereafter as recommended by your veterinarians.
