Vaccination for dogs

Anti rabies vaccine needs to be given once a year for dogs. Apart from this, DHLP injection needs to be given once a year. DHLP injection stands for Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvovirosis. This is a four-in-one injection which protects your dog from various illnesses.

Besides these two injections, deworming needs to be done once in 2 months to ensure that the intestine is free of worms. I am mentioning the vaccination schedule of my dog in detail below. you can use the same for your pet too.

1. Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvovirosis (DHLP)

Primary : 6 weeks
Booster : 12 weeks
Re vaccination : Every year

2. Corona virus vaccine

Primary : 8 weeks
Booster : 14 weeks
Re vaccination : Every year

3. Anti Rabies Vaccine


Primary : 10 weeks
Booster : 16 weeks
Re vaccination : Every year

Important Note: Sick animals and those with severe ecto and endoparasite infestations should not be vaccinated. Do not fail to have re vaccinations carried out which are indispensable for the maintenance of immunity against rabies, distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis and cornavirus.
