There are vets that do not accept vaccination records and re-vaccinate do so for the primary reason of revenue. The only required vaccination is rabie vaccine, which breeders are not allowed to give.
Three weeks is way too young to begin the vaccination process.....even instructions from the manufactorer states to begin at 6 weeks, which suppresses mother's immunities. |
Yes I agree to that, and re-vaccinating is not good. Too much vaccination is not good.
So a vet that suggests re-vaccinating does not have the best interest of your puppy in mind.
However, vaccinating under 9 weeks of age does no good either.
From what I have read it does not suppress the mothers immunity, it is the opposite. The mothers immunity suppress the vaccination and so it is therefor useless. Which is why Dr Dodd suggests not starting til 9 weeks.
When I posted about the "revenue" on another thread I was "flamed" unmericifully, for even suggesting such a thing.
