Special Notes for Dog Owners
Due to the number of allergic reactions to Leptospirosis during the puppy series we do not recommend getting the Leptospirosis vaccine until 12 weeks of age, and don't recommend the Leptospirosis vaccine for Miniature Pinchers, Dachshunds or dogs who have had previous allergic responses to vaccines or bee stings.
If your dog goes to a grooming establishment, boarding facility, dog show or socializes with other dogs the Bordetella vaccine should be given every 6 months.
If you have to board your dog at a boarding facility and he/she has not been vaccinated for bordetella within the last 6 months, you should vaccinate your pet for Bordetella before boarding. It takes 10 days for an injectable Bordetella vaccine to provide protection, and 3 days for an intranasal Bordetella vaccine to provide protection.
If your dog goes to dog beaches, parks, or socializes with other dogs or if your pet is a Doberman Pincher or Rottweiler:
An additional dose of Parvo vaccine should be added to the puppy series (given 4 weeks after the last dose of DA2LPP in the series) and
The Parvo vaccine should be given every 6 months, once as part of the DA2LPP (Distemper/Parvo combination vaccine) and once as an individual vaccination.
The number of cases of Heartworm has been steadily rising in Southern California – We strongly recommend that all dogs are protected from this disease. |
