My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Doing my own vaccines OKay - I'm doing my own because my vet only uses the Lepto sooooo my groomer and breeding mentor did one of my pups to show me how. So now I've been searching the web to purchase some and have two questions: 1) Where do you all by yours? 2) Whats up with the $25 shipping costs??? I checked my local Tractor Supply store and they only sell the Lepto as well. Oh I lied! I have 3 questions: 3) How long will the vaccine last? (stored) I see that they sell them in single doeses and then in lots of 25. I don't need 25 right now, but possibly in the future. Seems that if I'm going to spend $25 in shipping I may as well spendit one time instead of buying them individually, ya know? Any advise is much appreciated! Thank you! |

| I buy mine from drfostersmith.com they are actually located here in Wisconsin. The shipping was somewhere around $15. The reason for the high shipping cost is because of the requirement of refridgeration. The expiration dates that were on the ones I recently received were six months out.They have various different types of vaccines and the various needles as well. You can also order a free catalog that you will receive in the mail (free). Jan |

| Here's a link where shipping is offered free with $25 or more order - And, they sell single dose vaccines without Lepto and quite a bit other canine stuff as well. Good luck! http://www.petcarerx.com/PCareRx/Pro...oducts;Vaccine |

| HMMM My Tractor supply sells them BOTH ways. Some places will only charge the extra shipping in the warmer months for icepacks and such. Check around with a google search.

| vaccine at Jeffers Pet Go online to JeffersPet.com and you can order - I get the 25 at a time- look carefully so you get the right one for our babies or call them at their 800 # which is 800-533-3377 and they will help- The vaccine will have a exp date on it - usually 8 to 12 months out and if you keep the package ( it must be refrigerated) with the vials in the fridge it will keep. Don't forget to order syringes also- I use the fine puppy ones. Oh - I use the "VANGUARD PLUS 5 "- I am using out of a package I got several months ago and I see the exp date on these is March 07- You can also get Bordatella there which I do even though some of my dogs go nowhere cause some do go places with me. I have 4 that love to ride in the car and beat me to the door when they hear car keys- why don't they train that well for other things ? LOL

| We also get our from Drs. Foster/Smith. We buy in the 25 package becausee we have a lot of beaglee puppies. but our local feed store sells the individual ones which we have bought in the past but they are more eexpenssive likee that. |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | So here is my dilema.... I have two pups to vacinnate right now. Tia needs to start hers and then the pup I'm selling needs his second soon. After I'm done vaccinating them......I won't have pups again until 2007 (hopefully!!) Will they last if I buy the 25? |
