I have to agree with kalina......Some of the components in a combo vaccine are not needed or recommended........Also,if you’re looking to vaccinate in moderation and caution then Dr. Dodds schedule may be what you’re looking for……..

Vaccination Schedule Recommendations For Dogs

You’ll note on her schedule there in a “core” section and a “non-core” section. If you want to do the minimal approach then parvo, distemper and rabies are what you’ll be doing for your pup, as the chart indicates. Although many people use these combo vaccines they are not in the best interest for your pup. What most people don’t take into consideration is the long term implications these vaccines do to their pups immune system, their relatively immature immune systems may be temporarily or more permanently harmed from such antigenic challenges. Consequences in later life may be the increased susceptibility to chronic debilitating diseases.

Some other reasons combo vaccines are not the best vaccines to administer are:

Giving combo vaccines (multi-valiant, polyvalent) and/or several shots at once increases the risk of adverse reactions as well as the risk that the vaccines will interfere with each other, resulting in neutralization or negation.

You’re more likely to get a weaker response in producing antibodies and increasing adverse reactions.

Some combo components are made from viruses, some are from bacteria, all delivered at once with a dangerous punch to the immune system.

The number of pathogens plus toxic and carcinogenic chemicals that the animals are exposed to all at once generate an enormous toll on the immune system. The results can be devastating.

If your dog experiences a reaction to the combo shot, there is no way to determine which antigen caused the reaction and must be avoided in the future.

Smaller dogs are more prone to vaccine reactions than larger dogs

Polyvalent vaccines are associated with many terrible conditions, one of which is immune- mediated hemolytic anemia ( IMHA), a disease in which the body attacks its own red blood cells.

In 2000, CHC's findings were confirmed by research which showed that polyarthritis and other diseases like amyloidosis, which affects organs in dogs, were linked to the combined vaccine given to dogs.

Dr. Schultz believes if the pup stats off with a damaged or compromised immune system it will never work properly again…..Some people are under a false sense of security that just because their pup “seems” fine after receiving these combo vaccines that they are safe..... I have to wonder if a pup developed a chronic illness or if the pup started having seizures within a month or so of a vaccine would the pup's owner ever consider the possibility that it may be vaccine related?
