Each puppy receives the first core vaccination series, typically administered at 6-8 weeks of age. This includes the DHPP combination vaccine, which protects against:
- Distemper
- Hepatitis (Adenovirus)
- Parvovirus
- Parainfluenza
Golden Retriever Puppy Vaccination Schedule
Proper vaccination is critical for your Golden Retriever puppy's long-term health. We make sure every puppy receives age-appropriate vaccinations before going home, and we provide a full vet-reviewed record to continue with your own veterinarian.
Vaccinations Completed Before Pickup
Recommended Full Schedule
Your veterinarian will continue the schedule after you bring your Golden Retriever puppy home:
| Age | Vaccines |
|---|---|
| 6-8 weeks | DHPP (1st dose) — Administered by us |
| 10-12 weeks | DHPP (2nd dose), optional Lepto |
| 14-16 weeks | DHPP (3rd dose), Rabies |
| 12-16 weeks | Bordetella (if boarding/daycare) |
| Annual | Boosters as recommended by your vet |
Important
Until your Golden Retriever puppy has completed their full vaccination series (around 16 weeks), avoid places where unvaccinated dogs may have been — dog parks, pet stores, heavy-traffic sidewalks, and rest stops. Safe socialization with vaccinated adult dogs is still encouraged and critical for development.
Deworming Schedule
All our Golden puppies are dewormed regularly starting at 2 weeks of age, with a final fecal check before pickup day. This protects against common intestinal parasites and ensures your puppy arrives healthy.
Records Provided
When you bring your Golden Retriever puppy home, you receive a complete health folder with:
- Dates of all vaccinations administered
