After the pup is 12 weeks old, they need to get DHPP 2 times, ideally 4 weeks apart. This is due to the mother's antibodies being present in the pup's system. By 12 weeks of age those antibodies are gone, and the vaccines will definitely be effective after that. The Rabies is given last, between 4-6 months of age (check state law). Then at one year of age, one DHPP booster, then 4 weeks later, the Rabies booster. Then it's every 3 years for Rabies only (per MD law) DHPP is not required by law in this state.

Also see Dr Dodd's protocol...
