Getting a new puppy is exciting and overwhelming. One of the first things you need to figure out is vaccinations: which shots, at what age, and in what order. I built pupvax.com to make this clear.
The problem with vaccine schedules
Every vet gives slightly different advice. Online forums are full of conflicting information. And the paper handout from your breeder gets lost on day two.
pupvax.com gives you a clear, breed-specific vaccine timeline. Enter your puppy's age and breed to see:
- Core vaccines required for all dogs (rabies, distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus)
- Non-core vaccines based on lifestyle and location (Lyme, bordetella, leptospirosis)
- Age-appropriate timing for each shot in the series
- Booster reminders and adult dog schedules
Breed-specific pages
Different breeds have different health considerations. A Labrador has different risks than a Chihuahua. The site includes breed-specific vaccine schedules that account for:
- Breed size and growth rate
- Common breed health predispositions
- Lifestyle factors (working dogs vs companion dogs)
For senior dogs too
Puppy shots get all the attention, but senior dogs need vaccine management too. The site covers titer testing as an alternative to automatic boosters and which vaccines older dogs may not need.
