Just because you wean your pups at a young age doesn't mean mother's immunities have left their bodies the minute they no longer nurse......They do not begin leaving the pups body until approximately 9 weeks of age. Therefore, giving a pup a vaccination at 6 weeks of age, you are subjecting them to greater danger of contracting diseases. |
i also use the hand sanitizer...and keep a clean area and home for my pets
i see your argument but i still see mine. i would rather start the vaccines at 6 weeks that take chances and wait until 10 or 12 weeks to start..i cant see how waiting is proactive. i would be beside my self if i wait too long and then they contracted something because i wasnt preparing that puppy
they do studies all the time and something i think about is how something they did 20 years ago is bad today..but in 20 years they might say what we did 40 years ago was better because then they see the affects of the difference it may or may not have made.
