Veterinary prophylaxis

Vaccinations

Your veterinarian establishes an individual preventive program for the animal during its first year of life.
After the first year of life, for the well-being of the patient, we recommend annual booster vaccinations against infectious diseases.

In Poland, annual rabies vaccination is mandatory. It is possible to vaccinate with combination vaccines (rabies+ other infectious diseases).
Dog vaccinations: core vaccinations
During a consultation at our clinic, the veterinarian will determine an individual vaccination schedule for your dog. The schedule will vary depending on the age of the dog, the environment it is living in, and the epidemiological status.
Vaccination against infectious diseases DP (distemper, parvovirus)
– vaccination at 4-6 weeks of age, followed by DHPPi vaccine

Vaccination against infectious diseases DHPPi (canine parvovirus, canine distemper virus, canine adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza virus)
– puppies under 16 weeks of age: vaccination at 6-8 weeks of age, then every 3-4 weeks until 16 weeks of age or later
– first vaccination of adult dogs or puppies over 16 weeks of age: 2 doses at 3-4 week intervals (one dose can be assumed to provide protection)
– subsequent vaccination: annually (if no vaccine for kennel cough is available) or not more frequently than every 3 years

Vaccination against kennel cough KC (B. bronchiseptica, parainfluenza virus)
– puppies under 16 weeks of age: can be vaccinated from 3 weeks of age. In practice, vaccination is most often used between DHPPi vaccinations and at least 3 weeks before the dog is to be taken to a hotel/hospital/kennel or to a dog show.
– first vaccination of adult dogs or puppies over 16 weeks of age: 1 dose
– subsequent vaccination: every year

It is recommended to use a nasal vaccine, as the upper respiratory tract is the primary site of infection. On the day following vaccination, nasal and ocular discharge may be observed, sometimes accompanied by wheezing, sneezing, and/or coughing, especially in very young susceptible puppies. Symptoms are usually transient but may persist for up to 4 weeks. In animals with more severe clinical symptoms, appropriate antibiotic treatment may be indicated.

Rabies vaccination
– mandatory vaccination of dogs over 12 weeks of age
– booster doses every year
