Then two weeks later they can give the other one. You should not need 3 vet appts. because a tech can give all shots except the rabies if the vet orders them. Usually the DHPP is given as a combo but your vet may get singles in if you want. I personally would give them in the combo though. |
I'm going to check next time I take mine in for rabi shots, I was thinking when I had my yorkie done a couple mos back, the vet tech did it, and the vet wasn't in there at the time. I will be taking 2 more in in a couple mos, and am going to see if the vet gives them, that is news to me. Guess I need to start paying more attention as to who is doing what.
