Why country matters
Puppy advice copied off an American blog will send an Australian owner looking for a rabies shot that no Australian vet gives, and will skip the paralysis tick prevention that actually kills dogs on the east coast. The differences are real.
Vaccines are named differently
Australia and New Zealand talk about C3 and C5. The United States and Canada use DAPP or DA2PP. The United Kingdom uses DHP and treats leptospirosis as part of the core course. Same diseases, different labels, different combinations.
Rabies is not universal
Rabies vaccination is required by state law across the United States and by provincial law in parts of Canada. Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom are free of terrestrial rabies, so it is not part of the routine puppy course in any of them.
Parasites are local
Heartworm matters in Australia and the United States, and in parts of Canada. It is not endemic in the United Kingdom. Lungworm is a British problem. The paralysis tick is an Australian one.
Products and prices differ
The all in one monthly chew your vet recommends covers a different mix of parasites depending on where you are, and costs a different amount. That is why every schedule here ends with the same line: your vet picks the product.
This is general guidance, your vet sets the actual schedule. Local disease risk, the products your clinic stocks and your puppyโs own history all change the plan. Take this page to your vet as a starting point, not as an instruction.
