As for the vaccines, I think what I'm going to do is to give them one shot for parvo and one for distemper at 8 weeks and 9 weeks respectively. This way I know that they are protected when they go to a new home, but I minimize the risk of over-vaccination by not using combo shots and not giving rabies so young.
I'm still checking out the possibility of using nosodes and titer tests to limit the dogs' exposure to full strength vaccines, but I don't know enough about that yet to make a decision. |
Sorry, i really misunderstood. Here in Ma , it is state mandated for any puppy to have rabies only after 6 months old, so we do not need to do rabies shots to puppies younger than 6 months, the new owners do it and get the certificate in their names and if they need to travel they are all set , etc...
I do like to use the pfizer , vanguard 5 plus. That is a very safe puppy shot . Look into it, that is what my vet uses for the puppies.
