Simply put, vaccines are an exercise in getting sick. When a virus invades a dog's body, its body will produce corresponding "antibodies" that specifically attack and destroy the invading microorganisms. After the invading microorganisms are killed, the dog will gain resistance to the virus, but if the antibodies fail, that is the beginning of the virus's rampage.

Vaccine injection is actually a simulated small "invasion" - we weaken the harmfulness of the virus and make it into a vaccine, and then inject it into the dog's body so that the immune system in the body can recognize it, produce antibodies and remember it. When encountering a truly strong virus, the immune system can quickly identify and eliminate it. Therefore, the ultimate goal of vaccination is to make dogs immune to invading viruses. However, some interfering factors can affect the production of antibodies, so if the vaccine is to be successful, it must be administered at a time when the immune system is not disturbed.

A puppy just bought from a dog dealer has weak immunity, poor environment, improper care, and poor physical foundation. After arriving home, you should first go to a reliable animal hospital to inject serum to enhance immunity. The serum is only effective for 7 days. During these 7 days, do not let it go out, do not take a bath, and neither the dog nor the owner should come into contact with other dogs. Use this time to observe its appetite, defecation, body temperature, mental state, whether the nose is moist, etc. Clamp the thermometer to the hairless area on the inner thigh for 5 minutes. A fever above 39 degrees is considered. Puppies with symptoms such as fever, runny nose, cough, diarrhea, etc. should seek medical treatment immediately without delay.

If your puppy has no abnormalities and is lively and healthy, congratulations. When it turns 50 days old, you can take it to the hospital for the first injection of the imported canine six-link vaccine. This vaccine protects against six acute infectious diseases in dogs, including canine distemper, canine parvovirus, canine leptospirosis, infectious hepatitis, infectious bronchitis and parainfluenza disease. Three injections are required in the first year, with an interval of 21 days between each time, and then once a year. The imported canine six-in-one vaccine is of good quality and has a high protection rate.

Your puppy should be vaccinated against rabies when it is three months old, once a year. Vaccination against rabies is the obligation of dog owners and is required by dog-raising regulations. Vaccination must be carried out.

Canine viruses cannot be killed by ordinary disinfectants, and canine parvovirus is particularly stubborn. If you have had a puppy with an infectious disease in your home, no matter how disinfected your home is, you should not raise an unvaccinated puppy within six months. Please do not rush to compensate for your emotional losses with another puppy that has not been fully vaccinated. This selfish emotion will harm it.

When you take your dog for vaccination next year, you should do it about one month earlier than the previous year to avoid taking the previous injection.When the vaccine is about to expire, an accident occurs.

When injecting vaccines, in order to avoid being harmed by bad hospitals, please supervise the following points:

1. The temperature of the puppy should be measured before injection, and the vaccine can only be injected when it is in a very healthy state;

2. Check whether the vaccine has expired, whether it has been imported, and whether the nurse has injected all the medicine;

3. The hospital should provide an immunization record book and remind you of the time for your next injection;

4. Vaccines should be of the same brand, otherwise immunity failure may occur.

Injecting vaccines with reliable quality on time is the basic guarantee for the life safety of puppies, and it is also the minimum responsibility of every dog ​​owner.
