German Shepherd

Newborn puppies can obtain a certain amount of immune antibodies through the placenta and breast milk, which can protect the puppies from certain infectious sources for a certain period of time. Since maternal antibodies can interfere with and neutralize the antigenicity of the vaccine virus, they will interfere with the active immunity of the puppies. The maternal antibodies that provide immunity to "canine distemper" and "canine parvovirus" have dropped to a relatively low level at six or seven weeks, and are no longer enough to resist the invasion of these two viruses.

After three to four weeks, the six-combination vaccine can be injected, and after three to four weeks, the seven-combination vaccine or the six-combination vaccine + rabies can be injected. Immunity develops after two weeks. This completes the immunization program. If in an epidemic area, puppies should be injected with hyperimmune serum when they are four to five weeks old, and then injected again ten days apart, and then injected according to the traditional vaccination schedule.

Many owners know that vaccinating German Shepherd dogs is very important, but when should they be vaccinated, how many times should be vaccinated, and what kind of vaccine should be chosen, many owners do not understand it. But it doesn’t matter. If owners understand the knowledge we have introduced above, I believe they will not be so embarrassed when choosing vaccines for German Shepherds in the future.
