1. VACCINATIONS - Until all booster vaccinations are completed, keep your puppy away from other animals with an unknown vaccination history. Vaccinations are an important part of your puppy's preventative health care. Vaccinations should be given at 8, 11, 14 weeks or 7, 10, 13, and 16 weeks of age (if vaccine. Some high risk areas may require an additional parvo booster at 24 weeks of age. Rabies vaccination is done at 4 to 6 months and is required to license your doodle with your county. We recommend the 3 year rabies vaccination schedule instead of the 1 year, only vaccinate if you dog is healthy and do not vaccinate and administer deworming on the same day.
