I have no idea about what other States require as far as issuing a health certificate....I know I have sold puppies that have gone to live in other States have not had any problems with me giving the vaccines.....I personally give each puppy a health record that contains well baby visits, and worming schedule and their vaccinations, dates and labels from the vials placed appropriately in the shot record. Then before the puppy goes to new owners, my vet does a system check on the puppy and at the top of this health certificate, the vet checks the boxes that indicate which vaccinations the baby has received, along with the statement, "Properly administered by breeder". Both the vet issued health certificate and my own vaccination / worming /vet visit record go to the new owner, who then presents them to her vet. When I first started breeding, I did not give my own shots, but only because I was working and it was easier to drop pups off at the vet on the way to work, they gave the shots and watched for any adverse reactions, and I picked them up on the way home. A shift change at work enabled me to give my own vaccinations, saving me substantial expense.... |
