Healthy starts for strong hearts
Vaccinations & Preventative Care
We send every Night Watch Companions Dobermann puppy home with current records. Partner with your veterinarian to finish the series on time and keep your pup protected.
Core Vaccine Timeline
- 6–8 weeks DAPP booster (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza). Begin socialization in controlled, clean environments.
- 9–11 weeks DAPP booster. Discuss Bordetella if you anticipate boarding, training classes, or busy dog areas.
- 12–16 weeks Final DAPP and Rabies (timing per local law). Consider Leptospirosis if recommended in your region.
- Adult maintenance Annual wellness exam; core vaccine boosters per your vet; heartworm test and prevention renewed yearly.
Parasite Prevention
- Regular de-worming begins at 2 weeks; continue on your vet’s schedule after pickup.
- Start heartworm prevention as soon as your veterinarian recommends.
- Use puppy-safe flea/tick prevention tailored to your climate and lifestyle.
Keep grass play limited until vaccine series is complete. Avoid dog parks and high-traffic pet stores until your vet gives the all-clear.
Record Keeping & Vet Partnership
- Bring your puppy’s folder to every appointment—our records include lot numbers and dates.
- Schedule your first wellness visit within 72 hours of pickup to stay on schedule.
- Monitor for mild post-vaccine reactions (sleepiness, small lump); contact your vet immediately for swelling, vomiting, or trouble breathing.
