Also, he gave him the Bordetella twice, which i didn't know that he doesn't really need it. He also gave the Rabies shot to Freddy when he was 3 months old.....Damn! I guess i really messed up with this vet. Spend this morning online looking for a new vet. Freddy is not neutered yet and i guess needs his 3rd round of DHPP and i hope to find a good vet that i can trust...but it is really hard!

Just read online that twice the DHPP can be enough....well what to believe??? Need your advice..should Freddy get his DHPP a 3rd time?
DHPP should ideally be given at 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 15-16 weeks. Rabies should be given when 20 weeks or older (according to your law). Then at 1 year, they again get DHPP as a booster, as well as rabies (but give them at separate times).
