Given by your local veterinarian (time interval between vaccinations may vary according to local law). | Consult with your local veterinarian to determine
the appropriate vaccination schedule for your dog. Recommendations vary depending on the age, breed, and health status of
the dog, the potential of the dog to be exposed to the disease, the type of vaccine, whether the dog is used for breeding,
and the geographical area where the dog lives or may visit. *A combination vaccine, often called a 5-way vaccine, usually
includes adenovirus cough and hepatitis, canine distemper, parainfluenza, and parvovirus. Some combination vaccines may also
include leptospirosis (7-way vaccines) and/or coronavirus. The inclusion of either canine adenovirus-1 or adenovirus-2 in
a vaccine will protect against both adenovirus cough and hepatitis; adenovirus-2 is highly preferred. **Some puppies
may need additional vaccinations against parvovirus after 15 weeks of age. Consult with your local veterinarian. Bordetella
and parainfluenza: For complete canine cough protection, we recommend Intra-Trac III ADT. For dogs that are shown,
in field trials, or are boarded, we recommend vaccination every six to twelve months with Intra-Trac III ADT. |

| Doctors Foster and Smith Deworming Guidelines | | Deworming history of newly acquired puppies should be obtained to
determine whether additional deworming is needed. | | Puppies | Initiate treatments at 2 weeks; repeat at 4, 6, and 8 weeks of age. For a
puppy at increased risk, also treat at 10 and 12 weeks, and then monthly until the puppy is 6 months old. Thereafter,
use a heartworm preventive medication that is also effective against hookworms and roundworms. | | Nursing Dams | Treat concurrently
with pups. | | Adult Dogs | Treat regularly for prevention. Also monitor and eliminate parasites in pet's
environment. | | Newly Acquired Animals | Worm immediately; repeat in 2 weeks, then follow above recommendations. |
