 About puppy vaccinations  -   - 

 

The vet schools have changed their protocol for shots and are now saying do not vacinate before the pups are 8 weeks old.  and then give another shot a month later and then wait a year and 4 months to give the final shot and then the dog is good for life  for parvo/distemper, etc.  in fact they say   giving a shot in two weeks will counteract the first shot and  not be as effective.  This does not apply to the rabies  shot.  So I will give the pups their first shot at 8 weeks old.  And the second shot at 3 months old, if i have them. This shot protocol has been a controversary for several years, Dr Jean Dodd has an interesting web site that discusses this issue.
