Health Records

Vaccinations

What your puppy has already received, what comes next, and how to keep the schedule on track through the first year.

Every Evercrest puppy leaves with its vaccination record and the schedule for what follows.

Why it matters

Maternal antibodies fade somewhere between six and sixteen weeks, and the gap between that fading and full vaccination is when puppies are most at risk. Staying on schedule closes that window. Your puppy leaves us having already started the series.

Core vaccinations

Recommended for every Dachshund puppy regardless of lifestyle or location.

Canine distemper (CDV)

Protects against a highly contagious virus that attacks the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems. Frequently fatal in unvaccinated puppies.

Canine parvovirus (CPV)

Guards against a severe intestinal virus that puppies are especially vulnerable to. This is the single most important vaccine in the puppy series.

Canine adenovirus (CAV-2)

Covers infectious canine hepatitis and contributes to respiratory protection. Given as part of the combination DHPP shot.

Rabies

Required by law in most jurisdictions and fatal once symptomatic. Usually administered between twelve and sixteen weeks.

Recommended schedule

Follow this timeline to keep your puppy protected through the vulnerable months.

Non-core vaccinations

Worth discussing with your vet depending on where you live and how your puppy will spend its time.

Bordetella (kennel cough)

Contagious respiratory illness. Worth having if your puppy will board, attend daycare or use dog parks.

Canine influenza

Covers specific flu strains. Recommended for sociable dogs who mix regularly with others.

Leptospirosis

Bacterial infection carried in water and soil. Recommendation depends heavily on local prevalence.

Lyme disease

Tick-borne. Sensible if you live in or travel to an area where Lyme is established.

What your Evercrest puppy arrives with

Every puppy leaves us having received its first vaccinations and worming treatments, with a complete written record. Worming is given at two, four and six weeks; the first DHPP follows on schedule.

You also receive a recommended timetable for the remaining boosters and guidance on local requirements — including which non-core vaccines are typically advised in your region.

Always confirm with your own vet

Regional disease pressure varies, and so do legal requirements for rabies. Treat this page as a well-informed starting point, then let your veterinarian build the schedule for your specific dog.
