I just called my vet and asked if they gave 2 or 3 sets of puppy shots, and she said they give three. So, my vet was not following Dr. Dodd's schedule. For some reason, she thought Lacy needed her third set of shots when I was there. She was calculating how old lacy was, and NOT when she had her previous shots, even though I gave her the vaccination record. Because when I expressed my doubt about her needing one that day, she pointed out how old Lacy was, and not when her previous shots were given. This was a very young vet, and I have a feeling, she has not been trained properly. I have an appt with the manager on Monday to express my disappointment in the vet saying I could take Lacy out three days ago, when in fact, I can't take her out for another month or so. AND for telling me she was getting her third shot, when in fact, it was only her second.[/QUOTE]
Vets usually follow the AAHA guidelines.....

In terms of vaccines, a younger vet should know the guidelines really well. Some of the older vets still follow very old ones...
