Your Labradoodle puppy will acquire immunities against many diseases by nursing from his/her mother within the first two days of life. It is at that time as puppy nurses, it is ingesting colostrum that is present in the mother’s milk that is first produced. The antibodies that are passed in the colostrum are vital to the puppy’s health. These antibodies give your Labradoodle puppy some prevention from being infected by diseases like Canine Distemper and Parvo virus.
Australian Labradoodles in Pennsylvania is NOT a kennel. Our dogs are raised in our home or our carefully selected guardian homes as pets. That is important to us!
We take all the necessary precautions with puppies by limiting visitors before puppies are vaccinated, to ensure they are not unknowingly exposed to any diseases that could harm or be fatal to a young puppy. We disinfect the whelping boxes daily, and exercise meticulous hand washing techniques before handling any puppy.
At Australian Labradoodles in Pennsylvania, we insist that the following vaccines are given by our veterinarian during a complete health exam at age 6-7 weeks: Canine Distemper, Canine Hepatitis virus, Parainfluenza, and Parvo virus.

After the initial series are given, these vaccines are recommended to be repeated on a annual schedule to continue immunity.
