Why is Recombitek C8 important for dogs?

It provides broad-spectrum protection against important viral and bacterial diseases such as canine distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and leptospirosis.

At what age should my dog be vaccinated?

Puppies: The first vaccine is given at 6-8 weeks of age. Booster shots are given every 3-4 weeks until the puppy is 16-20 weeks old.

Adult dogs require either annual or triennial boosters depending on the risk factors.

Dosage & Administration:

Aseptically rehydrate the lyophilized vaccine with the accompanying liquid diluent, and agitate. Administer 1 mL (1 dose) subcutaneously into healthy dogs. For primary vaccination, revaccinate with a second 1 mL dose 3 to 4 weeks later. The presence of maternal antibodies is known to interfere with the development of active immunity in dogs and additional boosters will be required in most young animals. For advice on revaccination frequency, consult your veterinarian.

FAQ

Against which diseases does the Recombitek C8 vaccine protect?

The rDAPP-LCGIP recombinant Subunit vaccine protects against the eight canine diseases of:

• Distemper (D)
• Adenovirus Type 1 & 2 (A)
• Parainfluenza (P)
• Parvovirus (P)
• Leptospira canicola (L)
• Leptospira grippotyphosa (G)
• Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae (I)
• Leptospira pomona (P)

For which animals is the vaccine intended?

The vaccine is indicated for puppies and adult dogs exposed to these diseases, especially in social, outdoor, and leptospirosis-endemic environments.

How is this vaccine administered?

It is given as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection by a veterinarian. Puppies usually receive a series of injections starting at 6–8 weeks of age, with boosters every 3–4 weeks until at least 16 weeks of age. Adult dogs should receive annual boosters as needed.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Commonly seen mild side effects include local soreness around the injection site, low-level fever, or loss of appetite for a few days. Serious side effects are uncommon but do require immediate veterinary attention.

Why is the leptospirosis component important?

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease; therefore, there is a chance of transmission from dogs to people. This vaccine covers four-way lepto-LCGIP-reducing kidney and liver damage from leptospira bacteria, thus creating less risk to people.

How often does my dog need this vaccine?

After the initial series in puppies, a booster is given at one year and then re-vaccinated annually to maintain protection.
