Distemper, Adenovirus, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza


Protect Your Dog with DA2PP Vaccines at Country Creek Animal Hospital


Keeping your dog healthy starts with protection against some of the most dangerous and contagious diseases. At Country Creek Animal Hospital in Allen, TX, we provide essential core vaccines—including the DA2PP vaccine—to help your pet live a long, happy, and healthy life.


What Is the DA2PP Vaccine?


The DA2PP vaccine is a core combination vaccine that protects dogs against four serious viruses:


  • Distemper – A highly contagious and often fatal virus that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems.
  • Adenovirus (Hepatitis) – Causes infectious canine hepatitis, which affects the liver, kidneys, and eyes.
  • Parvovirus – A deadly virus that attacks the gastrointestinal tract, causing severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration.
  • Parainfluenza – A respiratory virus that contributes to kennel cough and other respiratory infections.


Together, these viruses can cause severe illness or death—but they are highly preventable with timely vaccination.


Why Your Dog Needs the DA2PP Vaccine


Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a seasoned senior, the DA2PP vaccine is essential. These diseases are not only dangerous but also very contagious—especially in places like dog parks, grooming salons, boarding facilities, and even your own neighborhood.

At Country Creek Animal Hospital, we follow AAHA-recommended vaccination guidelines to ensure your dog gets the protection they need at every life stage.


Puppy Vaccination Schedule


Puppies typically receive a series of DA2PP vaccines starting at 8 weeks of age and continuing every 3–4 weeks until they’re about 16 weeks old. Boosters are given at:


  • 1 year of age
  • Every 3 years after, depending on your pet’s lifestyle and risk


Our Allen veterinarians will tailor a vaccine plan specifically for your dog.
