Puppy Vaccines in Peachtree Corners, GA, From Your Local Vet

Petfolk Veterinary & Urgent Care - Peachtree Corners is a vet in Peachtree Corners, GA, that gives puppy vaccines starting at about 6 to 8 weeks old. Puppies need a shot series every 3 to 4 weeks until about 16 weeks, because the protection they get from their mother wears off at an unknown time.

The goal is simple: no gap where your puppy is unprotected. The first visit sets every date.

Call (770) 637-0032, book online or walk in with your new puppy.

When are puppy shots due?

A typical plan at Petfolk Peachtree Corners, adjusted to your puppy's age and records:

1. Visit one, 6 to 8 weeks: exam, first DAPP (distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, parvovirus), deworming and a stool check.

2. Every 3 to 4 weeks: DAPP boosters until about 16 weeks.

3. From about 12 weeks: leptospirosis, two doses a few weeks apart, for puppies who will be near water, wildlife or other dogs.

4. About 12 to 16 weeks: rabies.

5. When needed: Bordetella (kennel cough) before puppy class, daycare or grooming.

Across Petfolk, puppies typically got their first shot with us at about 11 weeks (first doses Oct 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026). If your puppy already had a shot or two, bring the paperwork, and the series continues from there.

What should I bring to the first puppy visit?

• Breeder or shelter records with vaccine names and dates

• A fresh stool sample in a sealed bag

• Your puppy's current food, or a photo of the bag

• Small soft treats and a hungry puppy

• Your questions: crate training, biting, how much to feed, when to spay or neuter

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. A good first visit teaches your puppy that the vet means treats, not fear.

Very sweet and caring staff helped my puppy's first visit go amazing!!!

Out and about before the series is done

Parvovirus lives in soil for months and spreads through stool. Until the vet says your puppy is protected:

• Skip public dog parks. Peachtree Corners' off-leash park near the Town Green doesn't allow dogs under 6 months anyway.

• Hold off on busy trails like Simpsonwood Park, where many dogs pass.

• Carry your puppy in stores and at The Forum's patios.

• Do invite healthy, vaccinated dogs you know for play dates at home.

The socialization window

Puppies learn the most about new people, sounds and surfaces between about 3 and 14 weeks old, the same weeks they are still finishing shots. You don't have to choose between safety and socializing. Let your puppy watch traffic on Peachtree Parkway from your arms, meet calm neighbors, hear the vacuum, and walk on grass in your own yard. Puppy classes that check vaccine records are a good next step. Ask the vet at each booster what your puppy is ready for.

What do puppy vaccines cost?

Puppy shots are given at wellness exams, which start at $99 at Petfolk Peachtree Corners, or are free with the PetfolkCare Plan, which starts at $199 a year. Each vaccine is priced separately. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

If a booster gets missed

A short delay usually means picking up where you left off. A long gap may mean repeating a dose. Call the clinic and keep your puppy away from dog parks until you're back on track.

Parvo signs that need help now

An unvaccinated or partly vaccinated puppy with vomiting, bloody diarrhea, or no interest in food or water can have parvo, which worsens fast. Call Petfolk Peachtree Corners right away during open hours, or go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG) in Brookhaven.
