It was probably not the healthiest thing to do, but many people (breeders and vets) do it and it works out fine.
I really would hope the breeder used a good vaccine though. Some are better than others and some of the ones sold at farm supply stores are just not good (less effective). |
I agree. Puppies should not start vaccines until they are 8 weeks and should have boosters every 3-4 weeks. That would make them finish the series at 16-18 weeks. We give 3 or 4 sets depending on the lifestyle, environment, etc. I would check with your vet on the puppy's first visit. He may want to give another booster. The vet at the clinic I manager thinks they are too young at 5-6 weeks to develop any immunity so any shots given before 8 weeks does not count.
