Good news! Your veterinarian can use the comprehensive, flexible Continuum family of vaccines to develop a customized care plan to protect your dog against serious diseases. Continuum vaccines are available in many combinations, so your veterinarian can select the individual vaccines that will provide the best protection based on your dog’s risk of disease exposure.

 

Continuum DAP and Continuum DAP-R have been approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (the US government agency that regulates animal vaccines) to provide 3-year protection against the most serious and common dog diseases. What this means is that with Continuum vaccines, you have a way to protect your dog against up to 4 deadly diseases (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and rabies) for 3 years with just 1 vaccine. And using only 1 vaccine means greater comfort and safety for your dog.

 

In scientific studies, 100% of the dogs vaccinated with Continuum DAP or Continuum DAP-R were protected for a full 3-year period against distemper, adenovirus (hepatitis), and parvovirus.¹

 

While some Continuum vaccines are approved by the USDA to provide protection when given every 3 or 4 years, others require annual revaccination or boostering to maintain disease protection. Approved 3-year vaccines mean fewer shots—and more comfort and safety—for your dog.
