VACCINES
Ensure your puppy is properly vaccinated.
Vaccines are crucial to the well-being of your puppy. Your lifestyle and where you plan to take your puppy will play a significant role in what vaccinations your veterinarian will recommend. Vaccines are broadly categorized as core vaccines and lifestyle (or noncore) vaccines.
Remember, it’s important to discuss all vaccinations with your veterinarian.

Discussing your puppy's lifestyle and habits with your veterinarian can help them determine which vaccines to recommend.
Tell your veterinarian about:
- Visits to dog parks or other public places.
- Daycare or boarding facilities.
- Plans to travel with your puppy.
- Outdoor places where you plan to take your companion—hiking trails, beaches, wooded areas.
- Playdates with other dogs.
