He wasn't with us when he got his first shot at 8 weeks, but here he is at 11 1/2 weeks and we brought him in for round two. Vet A said it is at 12 weeks, which would mean I'm early, and Vet B said I'm late and he should have received it at 10 weeks.

Vet A has 3 total rounds of shots spread out from 8-16 weeks (3 DHPP + Rabies).

Vet B has 5 total rounds of shots spread out from 8-16 weeks as well (4 DHPP) + Kennel Cough + Rabies.

I always thought it was 3 rounds with rabies. But I'm no expert and would LIKE to just trust the vet. But when there is disagreement between the people I trust, I'm not too sure what to think.

What schedules were your pups on?
Vet A is closer a bit more right on. Rabies on a Yorkie not until 6 or 7 months of age....Any thing over 3 rounds is over killl and can be more deteremental than good.
