Cavoodles like all dogs require a series of vaccinations to protect them from common and potentially serious diseases. The vaccination schedule generally follows the same guidelines as for other small breeds.
The core and non-core vaccinations typically recommended for Cavoodles are:
Core Vaccinations
Rabies: Required by law in many areas, the rabies vaccine protects against the deadly rabies virus.
DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza):
-Distemper: A highly contagious virus affecting the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.
-Hepatitis (Adenovirus): A viral disease affecting the liver.
-Parvovirus: A highly contagious virus causing severe gastrointestinal illness.
-Parainfluenza: One of the causes of kennel cough, a respiratory infection.
Non-Core Vaccinations
Canine Influenza: Protects against canine influenza virus, which can cause respiratory illness.
Leptospirosis: Protects against a bacterial infection that can be transmitted through water or soil contaminated by the urine of infected animals.
Bordetella: Protects against kennel cough, which is especially important if your Cavoodles will be boarded, groomed, or frequently around other dogs.
Lyme Disease: Recommended if you live in or travel to areas where ticks carrying Lyme disease are common.
Consult your veterinarian to develop a vaccination schedule tailored to your Cavoodles specific needs, lifestyle, and local regulations.
