By following these easy instructions you will save your puppy's life from an evil virus called Parvo.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Whenever you get a new puppy the first thing you should do is see a Vet. This is very important especially if you purchased an animal from someone.

  2. Step 2

    Every puppy needs its puppy busters no exceptions. Most Vets give these shots (DHLPP) at 6, 9, and 12 weeks. Some Vets may prefer to give them at different ages but this is what i am familiar with. I also recommend getting a 4th one at 15 weeks just to be on the safe side. Remember your puppy is not protected against this virus until he has had all his shots (DHLPP). *It is better to get this shot from a Vet if you purchase it from a feed store make sure it was kept in the frige.

  3. Step 3

    If your puppy is not protected and does not have all his shots stay away from pet stores, parks, and anywhere other dogs carrying the virus could have been. Better safe than sorry. And if you have had a dog with parvo please do not get another puppy for at least 6 months.
