He explaned a vaccination schedule that would cover all my dogs and my newborns solidly against parvo....newborns get NeoPar at 4 weeks of age and then I start my "puppy shots" at 8 weeks of age, 11 weeks, 14 weeks of age....I use Vanguard Plus-5, which does NOT contain Lepto....Lepto is not prevalent in this area so I do not give it. If a puppy is sold into an area that Lepto is a problem, I just ask that baby is premedicated with Benadryl 15 minutes before the shot, and then the owner hang around the office for 20-30 minutes to make sure there is no reaction. I will add that when I started giving NeoPar, alot of vets had not heard of it, and were not using it at all.....there are alot of them that now use NeoPar in their vaccination schedule....Breeders and vets working together, sharing research and information.....GREAT thing for pups!

Wow I can't continue to be grateful for finding yt. You and others have so much good knowledge to pass on that is so usefull. Thanks for the reply I know my vet is experienced but I'm one of those people that question everything. I just want to do what's best for the puppy. I feel these puppy's are a huge responsibility and I don't want anything to go wrong.
