Vaccination Schedule for Puppies & Adult Dogs
Why Is Vaccination Important?
Vaccinations protect your dog from life-threatening diseases such as Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Rabies, and Canine Hepatitis. Regular vaccination not only helps keep your pet healthy but also protects your family. Some dog diseases can spread to humans, making vaccination a vital step in responsible pet ownership.
Core and Non-Core Vaccines
Core Vaccines
Core vaccines are essential for all puppies and unvaccinated adult dogs. These vaccines protect against common and deadly diseases in Pakistan.
- Canine Parvovirus
- Canine Distemper
- Canine Hepatitis
- Rabies
Non-Core Vaccines
Non-core vaccines are optional and may be recommended based on your dog’s lifestyle, environment, and risk of exposure.
- Bordetella bronchiseptica (Kennel Cough)
- Leptospirosis
- Canine Parainfluenza
Common Dog Vaccines Available in Pakistan

Vaccination Schedule for Puppies
Below is a commonly followed vaccination schedule used by veterinarians in Pakistan. Always deworm your puppy before starting the vaccination process. Vaccination usually begins at 6 weeks of age.
6 Weeks: First shot of Primodog (Parvovirus)
9 Weeks: Second shot of Primodog
12 Weeks: First shot of Hexadog (6-in-1 vaccine)
15 Weeks: Second shot of Hexadog
Annually: Booster dose of Hexadog every year
This schedule ensures your puppy is fully protected from major canine diseases.
Vaccination Schedule for Adult Dogs
If your dog is older than 3 to 4 months and has not been vaccinated before, the following schedule is recommended:
Step 1: Deworm your dog
Step 2: Give 2 shots of Hexadog, 3 weeks apart
Step 3: Continue with an annual booster dose every year
Following this vaccination plan helps keep your dog healthy and safe while also protecting the people around them.

Once vaccine is done, will there be need to do it again or it’s for lifetime?
sala’am,
If its 1st time then after 14-21 days again the same procedure would be perform. After this then after every year 1 time vaccination would be perform
Once you’re done with the 4 normally scheduled vaccines (2 of Primodog & 2 of Hexadog), your pet is safe but it is recommended to repeat Hexadog on an annual basis to keep the dogs immune system boosted.
If hexadog has 6 vaccines then why we are using primadog?
Annual booster is necessary.
Once you vaccinate your dog it is immunize for one year.
That’s why you should annualy vaccinate your dog
