Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening viral disease that affects dogs. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent CPV infection.
Here are some common canine parvovirus vaccines:
- DA2PP: This is a combination vaccine that protects against canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parvovirus, and parainfluenza.
- DHPP: This is another combination vaccine that protects against distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza.
- Pure CPV vaccine: This vaccine only protects against parvovirus.
These vaccines are typically given to puppies in a series of injections, starting at 6-8 weeks of age. Boosters are then given at regular intervals throughout the dog's life.
If you are unsure which vaccine is right for your dog, please consult with your veterinarian.
