Organize your puppy's records and questions for vaccines, deworming, rabies timing, and safer exposure planning.
The planner uses age windows, record status, and exposure context to organize a veterinary conversation. AAHA guidance describes at least three combination-vaccine doses between 6 and 16 weeks, 2–4 weeks apart, while rabies follows law and product labeling. Parasite prevention also depends on the puppy, product, local risk, and veterinary assessment, so this tool does not turn general guidance into due dates or prescriptions.
Puppy vaccination and parasite prevention are time-sensitive, but there is no safe universal calendar for every Frenchie. The right plan depends on age, previous products, maternal antibodies, health, local disease risk, travel, household animals, and the puppy's likely exposure to dogs, soil, feces, or wildlife.
Use this planner to organize records and questions before an appointment—not to select a vaccine, dewormer, dose, or due date. A complete record helps your veterinary team decide what is current, what needs repeating, which tests are useful, and how to balance safe socialization with infection prevention while the puppy series is still in progress.
Veterinary guidelines emphasize individualized risk assessment. Bring your puppy's history and ask your veterinary team to translate general recommendations into products and dates that are legal and appropriate where you live.
AAHA describes core and lifestyle-based vaccines and notes that recommendations should be personalized. Its tables describe at least three combination-vaccine doses between 6 and 16 weeks, usually 2–4 weeks apart, but your veterinarian sets the plan.
Read the AAHA guidelinesCAPC emphasizes routine puppy deworming for hookworms and ongoing parasite control. Product choice, testing, timing, and local risk still require veterinary direction.
Read CAPC guidanceAAHA life-stage guidance encourages care plans that consider age, breed, size, lifestyle, and health status. Exposure details help your veterinarian discuss noncore vaccines and safer activities.
Review the AAHA checklistBring breeder, rescue, or shelter paperwork; vaccine stickers or certificates; deworming and flea or tick product names; dates; current medications; diet; and any recent symptoms or stool changes.
Ask which vaccine or test is due, whether a dose needs repeating, when the primary series is complete, and which signs after a visit should prompt a call. Write down the product and next date.
Tell the veterinary team about soil, feces, wildlife, travel, daycare, shared dog areas, household animals, and children. Ask about stool testing, deworming, heartworm, fleas, ticks, and prevention appropriate to your region.
Ask how to provide handling, car rides, calm visitors, training, and controlled puppy contact while avoiding higher-risk public surfaces or unknown dogs until your veterinarian confirms the right protection level.
There is no single schedule for every puppy. AAHA describes at least three combination-vaccine doses between 6 and 16 weeks, usually 2–4 weeks apart, while product labels, local disease risk, health, and the veterinarian's assessment determine the actual plan.
Puppies commonly need early and repeated parasite prevention, but the product, dose, testing, timing, and follow-up depend on the puppy and local risk. CAPC recommends routine puppy deworming for hookworms; ask your veterinarian rather than guessing from an online calendar.
Rabies timing follows local law, the licensed product label, and veterinary advice. Do not infer a due date from age alone; keep the certificate and clinic information with your puppy's records.
Ask your veterinarian how to balance early socialization with local infection risk. Controlled handling, training, car rides, and known healthy dogs may be different from dog parks, fecal-contaminated soil, daycare, or unknown dogs.
Bring all records, product names and dates, current medications, diet information, breeder or rescue paperwork, recent stool or symptoms, and a list of questions about vaccines, parasites, rabies, exposure, and follow-up.
The planning prompts reflect the AAHA canine vaccination guidelines and life-stage checklist, plus Companion Animal Parasite Council guidance. These references support a conversation with a veterinary professional; they do not replace local laws, product labels, or an individualized examination.
