What vaccines are required?

To participate in puppy class, puppies must be at least 8 weeks of age no older than 16 weeks of age and have received their first set of vaccines. Many puppies get their first vaccines around 8 weeks, their second set around 12 weeks, and their final round with Rabies around 16 weeks. If you have questions about the risks and rewards of socialization, we encourage you to read the position statement by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, the AVMA and discuss with your Veterinarian.
