What is dog vaccination (primary course)?

The primary vaccination course for dogs protects against distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and leptospirosis — the core UK diseases. Depending on your dog's lifestyle, vaccines against kennel cough (Bordetella) and rabies may also be recommended. The course involves two injections given 2–4 weeks apart, starting at 6–8 weeks of age.

Why do prices vary between vets?

Leptospirosis vaccine variant — L2 and L4 vaccines protect against different serovars; L4 is more comprehensive and may cost more
Inclusion of kennel cough vaccine — some practices include this as standard; others charge separately
Puppy health check — the first vaccination appointment usually includes a thorough health check, which is factored into the price
Practice location and overheads — urban practices, particularly in London, typically charge more

Frequently asked questions

When should I start my puppy's vaccinations?

Most vets recommend starting at 6–8 weeks of age, with the second injection at 10–12 weeks. Your puppy should be kept away from unvaccinated dogs and public areas until 1–2 weeks after the second injection. Book as soon as you bring your puppy home.

What does the dog vaccination protect against?

The core vaccine covers canine distemper virus, infectious hepatitis (adenovirus), canine parvovirus, and leptospirosis. Kennel cough (Bordetella bronchiseptica and parainfluenza) is often recommended as an additional vaccine, particularly if your dog mixes with other dogs.

How long does puppy immunity last?

After completing the primary course and the first annual booster (given approximately 12 months later), many components of the dog vaccine provide 3 years of immunity. Leptospirosis typically requires annual boosting. Your vet will advise on the specific schedule.
