Distemper Vaccination for Dogs
The Distemper vaccine is actually four vaccines in one.  The Distemper vaccine (DHPP) that we use protects dogs against Distemper, Hepatitis, Parinfluenza and the Parvo virus.  We recommend these vaccines for puppies at 8, 12 and 16 weeks and then at the next annual examination.  Once the pet has received the first annual booster, the vaccine can be given every third year during an exam.
