Yes, they did it because they knew their kennel could be infected. ALL kennels have the potential to be infected . It is having forethought and taking preventive measures to treat every puppy when they are placed under the stress of moving to a new home that causes some responsible breeders to include this medication in their puppy care packages and instructions

Interview a few vets and they will tell you just how common this malady is in the first few days and weeks of a puppy going to it's new home. It is not something breeders can prevent 100%. They can only do their best!
To criticize breeders for taking this preventive measure is short sighted in my opinion.
