A Detailed Guide to Canine Vaccination and Deworming Methods

Canine Vaccination and Deworming Injecting vaccines into dogs is the best way to protect both dogs and their owners from rabies and other serious diseases; canine distemper and canine parvovirus are also major causes of dog deaths in China. Deworming is also very important for a dog's healthy growth. If a dog eats and eliminates normally a few days after being brought home, it should be vaccinated and dewormed as soon as possible. Intervet and Nobivac vaccines are recommended, with immunization rates above 99.99%.

Notes on caring for a new dog:

1. A newly purchased puppy should ideally be given an immediate injection of serum or immunoglobulin to strengthen its constitution.

2. Never bathe the dog right away; you should bathe it only after it has adapted to the new environment for a few days and is eating and eliminating normally.

3. After arriving home, the dog's food intake should be controlled, feeding less than the normal amount, then gradually increasing to the normal amount over a few days.

4. If a newly purchased puppy shows any suspicious symptoms, please immediately call a veterinarian for advice, and if necessary take your dog to an animal hospital as soon as possible to avoid irreversible consequences.

Let us take action to win more tolerance and less prejudice for pets.

1. Please put a leash on your dog.

2. When taking your dog out, bring newspaper and other items to clean up its feces left on public roads.

Vaccines: once a year; for the six-in-one vaccine, three times in the first year, then once a year thereafter; rabies once a year.

Deworming: once every three months, even if there are no signs of worms; generally taking small tablets for a few days is enough.

Bathing: at most once every ten days.

Ear cleaning: ordinary ear drops available at most pet hospitals will do, once a month, judged by absence of odor. Dogs with large drooping ears need more drops.

Expressing anal gland secretions: once a month. Not doing it for a long time can cause anal inflammation. Do not do it within 1 hour before or after meals, and do not do it when guests are about to arrive at home.

Feeding: puppies can be fed three or four times a day; after adulthood, dogs with high activity levels, such as Dalmatians, should eat smaller meals more often; I think twice a day is appropriate.
