After the puppy series they get a booster 1 yr latter and they are set! If you give more than that you are wrecking their immune system. they are finding you actually lower their titer. They have also found cancer related to vaccs. I just lost a champion a year ago to Fribo Sarcoma ( Vacc related in cats) Most vets have problems getting people in for the yearly exam ( NEEDED). It will hit vets where it hurts, in the pocket. Think about what they charge per shot and what you can buy it for ( About $4). Years ago they stopped giving Vaccs to any dog over the age of 7. The only time you will run into a problem is if you decide to board you dogs  . You can do a titer test which THEY have to take,'
Hope i have been some help Sparkling Blu Yorkies |
Wow, you sure have been alot of help. Because I have five yorkies, I could never board them ( I couldn't afford it!LOL!) I actually have a friend that comes to the house to stay with them if I need to go out of town, so that's not a conern.
Does the fact that I have two new puppies that are going through their puppy vaccines change the need for yearly vaccines in the older dogs?
