How it is calculated
| When | Vaccine | Guideline |
|---|---|---|
| 6–8 weeks, then every 2–4 weeks until 16 weeks of age or older | Core: CDV, CAV-2, CPV-2 | Initial core vaccination at 6–8 weeks, then every 2–4 weeks until 16 weeks of age or older [2]; final dose at 16 weeks of age or older [1] |
| At or after 26 weeks | Core booster | Revaccination at or after 26 weeks of age rather than waiting until 12–16 months [1] |
| Adult | Core | Not more often than every 3 years after the 26- or 52-week booster [2] |
| 12 weeks | Rabies | One dose at 12 weeks of age [2]; essential for dogs in endemic areas [1] |
| From 8 weeks | Leptospira (non-core) | Initial dose at 8 weeks or older, a second dose 2–4 weeks later, then annually [2]; highly recommended in endemic regions [1] |
Rabies revaccination and any legal requirement follow the vaccine label and local law.
