What if I only want a checkup?

Why are multiple booster vaccines necessary for my puppy?

Young puppies (8 weeks) generally have maternal antibodies that block their immune system from responding to vaccines. These antibodies protect these young puppies from bacterial and viral disease. As puppies reach 8 weeks of age their maternal antibody levels decline leaving them at risk for developing illness.

THRIVE veterinarians administer vaccines every three to four weeks from 8 weeks of age to 14-16 weeks of age. This increases the chance, that as maternal protections wane, your dog’s immune system will be activated and leave them less likely to contract serious diseases we vaccinate against.
