Dog Health Questions: Vaccinations for a puppy training class?

Hey folks I have a four month old apricot pug and I've decided to take an 8 week puppy education class at PetsMart on April 7. The class asks for four vaccinations which include Rabies, Parvovirus, Distemper and Parainfluenza. My pup has the first three vaccinations but she doesn't have the Parainfluenza. My vetinerian didn't even mention to me that I need to have the Parainfluenza and I asked the lady over the phone at PetsMart if I need to have it and she said yes because dogs can spread viruses pretty quickly. I feel like my pug has gone through enough vaccinations.

My pug is recovering from spaying surgery on Monday and I don't know if I'm doing this too soon, but its an absolute must I go through this class.

I just want to hear from you guys if this is pretty common for any puppy/dog training classes to have so many vaccinations. It's hard to keep up.

Recommended Answer:
A basic DHPP vaccination will include the Parainfluenza vaccine. You should call your vet and ask what is included in the boosters your dog had. Most likely, your dog is already vaccinated.

  • Well, those are the basic "foundation" shots for any puppy really so yes its very common for a training class to ask for those shots.
