Vaccinations should be given to indoor dogs, which do not leave the apartment anywhere. However, they can be infected even before their acquisition by the owners. In addition, the dog can get sick only by smelling the shoes or clothes of its owners, who went out into the street.

The first vaccination should be done at 6-8 weeks of age. The second time vaccinated in a month. The third vaccine is given in six months, then at the age of one year. In recent vaccinations, pathogens of 20 diseases have been added. It is necessary to vaccinate a dog every year.
