Puppies receive most of their vaccinations every two to four weeks until they are at least 14 weeks old. Some vaccinations are given as a combination, such as the DHLPPC, which helps protect against distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, parvo and corona. Other vaccinations are administered one at a time.
Canine Distemper, Adenovirus (Hepatitis), Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza are usually taken care of via a single shot known as a 5-Way Combination Vaccine or a 5 in 1 Vaccine, while rabies is always handled separately. There are a number of other viruses that most vets recommend vaccinations for.
