Vaccines & Dewormings
A healthy start is everything. Here is the care every Mountain Valley Poodle puppy receives before go-home day — and how to keep that protection going with your own veterinarian. 🐾
Before They Come Home
Every puppy is wormed, vaccinated, and vet-checked before they ever meet you.
Dewormed on Schedule
Puppies are dewormed every two weeks from two weeks of age to clear common intestinal parasites and support healthy growth.
First Vaccinations
Each puppy receives their first age-appropriate combination vaccine (DHPP) on our veterinarian's recommended schedule before going home.
Vet-Checked
A licensed veterinarian examines every puppy nose-to-tail to confirm they are happy, healthy, and ready for their new family.
1-Year Health Guarantee
Your puppy comes home with our written 1-year health guarantee and their individual vaccination & deworming records.
Typical Puppy Schedule
A general guide to early puppy care. Your puppy's exact dates come home in their records.
| Age | Deworming | Vaccine |
|---|---|---|
| 2 weeks | Deworming #1 | — |
| 4 weeks | Deworming #2 | — |
| 6 weeks | Deworming #3 | First DHPP combination vaccine |
| 8 weeks (go-home) | Deworming #4 | Final pre-home vet check |
| 10–12 weeks | As advised by your vet | DHPP booster (with your vet) |
| 14–16 weeks | As advised by your vet | Final DHPP booster + Rabies (with your vet) |
This is our general protocol and a typical guideline only — it is not a substitute for veterinary advice. Each puppy goes home with their own individual vaccination and deworming record. Always follow your own veterinarian's recommendations.
After Your Puppy Comes Home
Your puppy will need to finish their booster series — usually two to three more rounds about three to four weeks apart, plus a rabies vaccine — to be fully protected. Schedule your first vet visit within a few days of bringing your puppy home and bring their records with you.
Protect your puppy from parvo. Until the full vaccine series is complete (around 16 weeks), keep your puppy away from dog parks, pet stores, and areas where unknown dogs have been. This is also why we do not allow home visits and prefer FaceTime or meeting nearby — protecting these babies always comes first.
