What diseases does the DHPP vaccine protect against?

Canine Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo, Parainfluenza
Lyme Disease, Rabies, Heartworm, Coccidia
Parvovirus, Bordetella, Leptospirosis, Canine Influenza
Canine Distemper, Adenovirus, Bordetella, Lepto

The correct answer is: Canine Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo, Parainfluenza

The DHPP vaccine is designed to protect dogs against a range of serious viral diseases. The components included in the DHPP vaccine are specifically Canine Distemper Virus (CDV), Canine Adenovirus type 1 (hepatitis), Canine Parvovirus (CPV), and Canine Parainfluenza virus. Canine Distemper is a potentially fatal viral disease that affects a dog's respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems. Adenovirus type 1 can lead to infectious canine hepatitis, while Parvovirus is known for causing severe gastrointestinal issues, including vomiting and diarrhea, which can be life-threatening, particularly in puppies. Lastly, Parainfluenza is a viral respiratory infection that can contribute to kennel cough. This vaccine is crucial for a dog's health and is typically part of the core vaccinations given to puppies as early as six weeks old, with booster shots administered at regular intervals. The diseases that DHPP protects against are foundational to canine health, making this vaccine a vital preventive measure for all dogs.
