When does my puppy need booster shots after his 8-week Petco visit?

Hi there, and thanks for your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. King received his first puppy vaccine 7/22/19. His next vaccines would typically be given 3-4 weeks later, so he's a little overdue. You should call your vet to schedule his next appointment right away. Hope this helps! Congrats on your new puppy!

Puppies are typically vaccinated every 3-4 weeks until they are 16 weeks of age. I would make an appointment to have a vaccination done and then repeat a vaccine in 3-4 weeks. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Yes they will give all the vaccinations he needs at PetCo. He will need two more sets of booster shots to be fully protected. They will give you a schedule for his booster vaccinations and discuss flea, tick and heartworm products if they are recommended in your area. You can also get a microchip at PetCo. As far as the papers to show his breed ask your friend if they have some from the breeder. You don’t need any papers though to get him examined and vaccinated. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.

Yes, Koa does need a booster shot, but these should be given four weeks apart to incur immunity. Because it's been two months since he last shot, he will need to start the series over again. You can bring him into a Vetco vaccine clinic to get it done.

You're right that the vaccines are typically started at six weeks and the booster vaccines are given every 2- 4 weeks until they are 16- 20 weeks of age. The frequency of the the boosters depend on their risk. It's best to have a vet evaluate him in the next few days. They can give a booster and give you a good plan for future vaccines and other preventative health care. I hope that helps and all is well with Quill.

If you vaccinate now, they should receive boosters at around 12-13 weeks, and then the third series 4 weeks later. They only need the three rounds. If you give Spectra 5 the first time, I would recommend Spectra 10 for the next two series. The Spectra 10 vaccinates against leptospirosis, and they need to have that twice, 4 weeks apart. Make sure they also receive a rabies vaccination with a veterinarian at 16 weeks of age. All vaccines will need to be boostered in 1 year.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It isn't too terrible, he is just unprotected at this time. Your Vet may now want him to get a 2nd booster 3 weeks later. I would get him in this week for the booster. I hope this helps!
