The American Animal Hospital Association and other experts on vaccine related issues no longer believe that vaccinating with modified live viruses (MLV) like DHP is necessary yearly. It can cause some not-so-good things to happen. For the safety of your Yorkie, it would be best to research the whole issue before agreeing to anything.  |
i agree it is every 3 years split the parvo and distemper if you have to do it in your area, and rabies every 3 years and look into titering after their puppy one year booster as i have been titering for 5 years and mine still show positive titers for vaccines so these vaccines last longer than 3 years and in these toy breeds you just have to be very careful. If no reaction the first time that is a good sign but a dog that has a reaction i would be very leary of vaccinating again myself. I would need some heavy duty convincing for that and would try to get waiver for rabies and just keep the dog in doors or something as would not take a chance especially after what happened to Brandi as each reaction gets worse if they have a reaction and she had a reaction to two previous vaccines prior and the third put her over the edge sadly
Some vets are still doing this stuff yearly and it is NOT REQUIRED only rabies is required by law and that is every 3 years and it depends on your county so call animal control to check your areas requirement don't just go by what the vet is saying when it comes to this ask what is required as each county is different in each state
