Vaccinations
Protecting your puppy with essential immunizations for a healthy, happy life
Importance of Vaccinations
Vaccinations represent your puppy's primary defense against serious and potentially fatal diseases. We guarantee every Cane Corso puppy receives their initial immunizations before transitioning to their permanent home. Cane Corsos are robust, active guardians—proper vaccination shields them as they mature and engage with their environment and other animals.
Essential Vaccinations
These fundamental vaccinations are advised for all Cane Corso puppies, irrespective of lifestyle.
Canine Distemper (CDV)
Provides protection against a highly contagious viral illness that can prove fatal. Distemper impacts multiple bodily systems including respiratory, gastrointestinal, and neurological functions. Cane Corsos, as active working breeds, derive significant benefit from this preventive measure.
Canine Parvovirus (CPV)
Defends against a severe, often lethal viral infection affecting intestinal health. Puppies demonstrate particular vulnerability, rendering this vaccine crucial for your Cane Corso's wellbeing during their initial developmental year.
Canine Adenovirus (CAV-2)
Offers protection against infectious canine hepatitis and respiratory conditions. Included within the comprehensive DHPP combination vaccine that your Cane Corso will receive throughout their puppy immunization series.
Rabies
Legally mandated—protects against a fatal neurological disease transmissible to humans. Typically administered to Cane Corso puppies between 12-16 weeks of age, fulfilling both health and legal requirements.

Additional Vaccinations
These supplementary vaccines may be suggested according to your Cane Corso's lifestyle and geographical location
Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
Protects against contagious respiratory infection. Significant if your Cane Corso will frequent daycare, boarding facilities, or communal spaces involving canine interaction.
Canine Influenza
Defends against specific influenza strains. Recommended for social Cane Corsos who regularly engage with other dogs in parks, exhibitions, or training environments.
Leptospirosis
Protects against bacterial infection transmitted through environmental sources. Advised based on local occurrence, especially for Cane Corsos participating in outdoor activities.
Lyme Disease
Guards against tick-borne illness. Beneficial if residing in or visiting regions where Lyme disease is prevalent, particularly relevant for active Cane Corsos.

Each Cane Corso puppy arrives with their initial vaccination series and deworming treatments fully completed. We supply comprehensive immunization records, deworming administration at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age, a suggested schedule for continuing vaccinations, and guidance regarding regional vaccine requirements specific to your location.
Veterinary Consultation Essential
Always consult your veterinarian for a customized vaccination schedule based on your Cane Corso puppy's specific health requirements, lifestyle patterns, and local regulations. Cane Corsos may have breed-specific considerations that your veterinary professional can appropriately address.
