Corona and Lepto are "non-core" vaccines. I think it really depends on where you live and what you feel the risk is.
I will never give lepto again as my boy (who was bigger, 6lbs at 12 weeks) had a bad reaction to it. It's common in little dogs especially. I would say no to corona all together.
The only non-core vaccine I give is bordatella because we are constantly around other dogs between pet stores, dog parks, and being a pet sitter, and he had kennel cough twice without vaccine. Since getting the vaccine both times, we've avoided KC. So I do choose to give that one. As for the rest, I take the minimalist approach. I really like Dr. Dodds vaccine protocol. |
