Thanks for the info!

And, yes, the shot vials say you should administer the first dose sometime
between 6 and 8 weeks, but the same shots are used for all breeds of dogs, both large and small. We usually give our puppies their first shot at 7 or 8 weeks, but now I will wait until 8 weeks for sure.
