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.
