The Importance of Vaccines

Keeping your puppy up to date on vaccines is crucial for their health, well-being, and safety. Vaccines protect your puppy from serious and potentially life-threatening diseases while also benefiting the larger community by reducing the spread of infectious illnesses. Here are some key reasons why staying up to date on your puppy’s vaccines is important:

1. Vaccines protect against common, but dangerous diseases such as: Parvovirus, Distemper, Rabies, Canine Flu, and Hepatitis.
2. Puppies have immature immune systems, making them more susceptible to diseases. Vaccines help their immune systems develop the ability to better fight off infections.
3. Some diseases, such as rabies, can be transmitted to humans. Vaccinating your puppy protects your family, other pets, and your community.
4. Some states require certain vaccines for dogs. The state of Indiana requires the rabies vaccine.

Remember to keep your Colonial Village Labradoodles up to date on their vaccines. Be sure to go to your Gingr account and update your dog’s vaccine records, especially before their next CVL reservation or appointment!

Multi-generational Australian Labradoodles are a cross between many different parent breeds. The breed originated in Australia in the 1980s with the intent of creating an allergy-friendly service dog for the blind. Australian Labradoodles are a combination of a Poodle, Labrador Retriever, English Cocker Spaniel, American Cocker Spaniel, and Irish Water dogs. These breeds were hand-selected for specific breed qualities to create the ideal service dog for those with allergies. Since then, the breed has continued on and spread across the world. Australian Labradoodles are now considered their own breed with its own breed clubs (ALAA and WALA).
