So I did what they told us. How do U keep U're babies from getting Parvo if U don't give their shots till later? Do U allow visitors? I'm just wondering how U do it so maybe I can learn.
I give interceptor more in the summer say May, June, July, August and sometimes Sept. If it is really warm here for the heartworm as mosquitoes are so very bad here where we live, ours has never had a Worm one. Anything bad about Interceptor? I've gave it to Teddy and Tiffanie their 1st summer we had them and they are now 3, so far we've had no trouble with it.
As far as microchipping, Sage is microchipped and I was really thinking about getting my other 4 microchipped too, now I wonder if I should. It seems like for every good in something there's like 5 bad with it. |
In my opinion I think your vet needs to study up on the newest recommendations on vaccinations. It is not recommended to get vaccinations that young. Just google 'danger canine vaccination' and start reading up. We are out in the country and there are very seldom any stray dogs around. I just don't hear about parvo in the area where we live. I have always been told that sick dogs get parvo and healthy dogs have a resistance to it. I try not to over vaccinate because that causes the dogs immune system to be compromised. I don't give heart worm preventative because my dogs stay in the house. I have never had any test positive for heart worms. I do use Advantage for fleas when necessary. I do not microchip.
