Please watch this informational video on the reasons to vaccinate your canine companions ๐พ
Puppies should receive two initial vaccinations, one when there are 8 weeks old and then the second, 4 weeks later when they are 12 weeks old.
They should then receive a yearly booster to keep them protected against harmful diseases ๐ฆ

Nematodirus only affects lambs as ewes have a strong immunity. The parasite develops to its infective form within the egg, which is thick-walled and very resistant to damage. Hatching requires a specific set of environmental conditions, namely freezing, followed by a temperature exceeding 100C for several days. When this occurs, eggs can hatch en masse very quickly, providing a sudden and very high infection challenge. This is known as the โspring flushโ and often coincides with lambs becoming more reliant on grazed grass at 6 โ 8 weeks old.
