Plain-English summary
A group of 60 puppies received one of two combination vaccines to protect against canine parvovirus and canine distemper virus. The puppies that got one specific vaccine showed a better response, with more of them developing antibodies to parvovirus faster than those that received the other vaccine. However, both vaccines were equally effective in helping puppies develop antibodies to distemper virus. This suggests that choosing the right vaccine can make a difference in how quickly puppies are protected against parvovirus.

Abstract
Sixty puppies were randomly assigned to receive one of two commercially available combination vaccines, and responses to the canine parvovirus and canine distemper virus components of the vaccines were determined by measuring serum antibody titers. The percentage of puppies that seroconverted to canine parvovirus was significantly higher and the mean time for seroconversion was significantly shorter for puppies that received one of the vaccines than for puppies that received the other vaccine. Percentages of puppies that seroconverted to canine distemper virus were not significantly different.
