Puppy care - Take your puppy to veterinarian as soon as you can

When you pick up your new Yorkshire Terrier puppy, take her to your veterinarian as soon as you can so she can have a checkup and be put on a schedule of shots.

A recommended schedule of puppy shots will be determined by your veterinarian, but here is an example of a standard puppy shots schedule: Six to seven weeks, the first round of combination shots or DHPPCv is administered; at nine weeks, the second round of DHPPCv is administered; 12 weeks is the third combination of shots, and your puppy may also be given a Lyme vaccination; at 16 weeks, the final combination of shots are given, and your puppy will be required by law to have her rabies vaccination; at 20 weeks, your puppy will receive her Parvovirus shot.
