A typical puppy timeline
Most puppies follow a broadly similar first year: a series of core vaccinations, regular parasite control, an intense socialisation window that closes around 16 weeks, and a first annual check-up near twelve months. The exact dates and products depend on your vet, your region and your individual puppy — treat this as a planning guide, not a prescription.
Frequently asked questions
When do puppies get their vaccinations?
Core puppy vaccinations are typically given in a series — often around 6–8 weeks, 10–12 weeks, and 14–16 weeks — but the exact protocol depends on your vet, your region and the vaccine used.
When can my puppy go outside for walks?
Vets usually advise waiting one to two weeks after the final puppy vaccination before walking in public areas. Confirm the timing with your own vet.
Why does socialisation timing matter?
The main socialisation window tapers off around 16 weeks. Positive, safe exposure to people, dogs, places and sounds during this period helps a puppy grow into a confident adult.
