The DHPP is a vaccine the protects against Distemper, Hepititis, Parainfluenza, and parvovirus. When you get a new puppy at eight weeks it will need to make several trips to the vet for his initial DHPP and then a 2-3 booster shots. After his final booster of DHPP it will be a year until he needs another one. From there on you can choose to get either the one year DHPP or the three year vaccine.

Dog What is DLPP?

DLPP stands for Distemper, Leptospirosis, Parvovirus and Parainfluenza. A DLPP is a combination vaccine given to prevent these diseases. Parvo and Distemper especially are highly contagious. The only one you may not need to vaccinate for is leptospirosis. Dogs can get lepto from ponds, run off, ditches, stale standing water. Lepto vaccine also has a higher chance of causing an allergic reaction, so it is wise to not give it unless your dog absolutely need it. It is now known to be more prudent to vaccinate your dog every three years as opposed to the previous practise of every year.


Why do dogs need water?

well every living thing needs water. All creatures need water to survive. Dogs get thirsty just like you do. Also, since dogs have more energy they need water more and more. I usually give then water every morning, noon and if they are still thirsty or if they just did some running around (which they normally do) then I also give them water before I head off to bed. A clue for if they want water, they will tell you. They will beg and bug you for something. Also if they follow you into the bathroom or kitchen because they heard the water running from the sink, then that is a very good clue for if they need water.
