Vaccinations for Breeding Dogs

At Cheery Poodles, we prioritize the health of our breeding dogs to ensure they are strong and disease-free before producing puppies. All our adult poodles receive comprehensive vaccinations according to veterinary guidelines, including vaccines for distemper, parvovirus, rabies, and canine influenza. Keeping our breeding dogs up to date protects them from contagious diseases and helps prevent transmission to their puppies. We also maintain regular wellness checks and parasite prevention to support their overall health. This careful vaccination protocol forms the foundation for producing healthy, robust litters.

Vaccination Protocol for Puppies

From birth, our poodle puppies receive close veterinary monitoring to ensure they start life healthy and protected. Puppies receive their first round of vaccinations between 6 and 8 weeks of age, including core vaccines for diseases such as distemper, adenovirus, and parvovirus. We follow up with booster shots every 3 to 4 weeks until the puppy is about 16 weeks old. This vaccination schedule is critical to build strong immunity and protect puppies during their vulnerable early months. We also provide deworming treatments alongside vaccinations to combat common parasites.

Linking Health from Breeder to New Home

Our strict health and vaccination standards for both breeding dogs and puppies help create a seamless transition of care to new owners. Before a puppy leaves for their new home, we provide detailed vaccination records and a veterinary health certificate. This ensures you have a clear history of all vaccinations, deworming, and any other treatments your puppy has received. Our goal is to set your puppy up for a healthy life from day one, backed by responsible breeder care.

What New Owners Should Do

After bringing your poodle puppy home, it’s essential to continue following your veterinarian’s recommended vaccination schedule. Most vets advise completing the full series of core vaccines with boosters during the first four to six months. Keep a copy of all vaccination records and inform your vet about your puppy’s history from our program. Regular wellness exams and parasite prevention should continue throughout your dog’s life. Staying current with vaccines protects your puppy and helps prevent the spread of contagious diseases in your community.

Supporting Your Puppy’s Long-Term Health

Vaccinations are just one part of maintaining your poodle’s health. Proper nutrition, socialization, exercise, and regular vet visits all contribute to a strong immune system. At Cheery Poodles, we remain available to answer questions and provide guidance on health and vaccinations for your puppy’s entire life. By working together, we help ensure your poodle grows into a happy, healthy companion who thrives for many years to come.
