Canine DHPP Vaccine (Live) Description
This live attenuated combination vaccine is designed to provide broad protection against four major infectious diseases affecting dogs: canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parainfluenza virus (CPIV), canine adenovirus (CAV), and canine parvovirus (CPV).
These diseases are highly contagious and widely distributed, particularly in high-density environments such as breeding kennels, shelters, and pet hospitals. Canine distemper and parvovirus are associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially in puppies, while adenovirus and parainfluenza contribute significantly to canine respiratory disease complex.
The vaccine contains carefully selected attenuated strains (CDV/R-20/8, CPIV/A-20/8, YCA18, CR86106) with validated immunogenicity. As a modified live vaccine, it stimulates rapid and robust immune responses, offering effective protection following proper immunization protocols.
After completion of the primary vaccination schedule, the vaccine provides up to 12 months of immunity, making it suitable for routine preventive programs in both companion animal clinics and commercial breeding operations.
