Why Vaccinations Matter
Puppies are born with temporary immunity from their mother's milk, but this fades by 6–12 weeks. Vaccinations protect your puppy from deadly diseases including parvovirus, distemper, hepatitis, and rabies. An unvaccinated puppy should not be walked in public areas or exposed to unknown dogs. Puppry tracks your puppy's vaccination status and reminds you when boosters are due.
Core Vaccination Schedule
6–8 weeks: Distemper, Parvovirus (DHPP first dose). 10–12 weeks: DHPP second dose. 12–16 weeks: Rabies (required by law in most states). 14–16 weeks: DHPP third dose. 12–16 months: DHPP booster and Rabies booster. Every 1–3 years thereafter: DHPP and Rabies boosters as recommended by your vet. Puppry logs each vaccine and calculates the next due date automatically.
Non-Core Vaccinations
Depending on your location and lifestyle, your vet may recommend Bordetella (kennel cough), Leptospirosis, Canine Influenza, or Lyme disease vaccines. Discuss these with your veterinarian. Puppry lets you add custom vaccines to your puppy's health record.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can my puppy go outside after vaccinations?
Puppies can go in your own backyard immediately. For public walks, wait until 2 weeks after their second DHPP shot (around 12–14 weeks). Puppry includes safe socialization alternatives during the waiting period.

Initial puppy vaccine series typically costs $75–$150 at a low-cost clinic or $200–$400 at a private vet, plus $15–$50 for rabies. Puppry helps you track costs and find low-cost clinics near you.
