I've also been vaccinating my adults with the Vanguard Plus 5 once a year. Am I reading the new protocol correctly that it's not needed? |
I give the Vanguard plus 5 at 8, 12 and 16 weeks and a booster at a year. I recommend that titers be done...to insure their immunities are there.....just for peace of mind....
The Kennel cough I give with the first vaccination at 8 weeks, and once a year thereafter....that is unless I'm showing a dog...then it's every 6 months....
This is what I do....but, everyone has to do what is best for them......I do believe that pups have their mother's immunities and shouldn't be immunized prior to 8 weeks of age.....as it doesn't do anything but suppress those immunities and that over vaccinating can create a multitude of problems later in life.
