Before each vaccination, it is necessary to conduct deworming (getting rid of worms), with the help of vaseline oil or other anthelmintic preparation.
The second vaccination is made when the puppy is 2 months old, in order to prevent diseases such as plague , hepatitis and leptospirosis. For two weeks after the vaccination, a certain quarantine is observed, at this time the puppy develops immunity. During this period, it is strictly forbidden to walk the dog on special sites, where there are other sick animals.
The third vaccination is performed when the puppy has reached 3 months of age.
