| The breeder gave these shots, not my vet. I feel soooo bad for my baby now... My daughter got this baby boy for me so I did not know the people that had him. He is such a sweet boy and I love him very much!!! |

| My vet says even if they haven't had any shots before if they are 12 weeks or over when they get their first (or subsequent) shots then that's all they need. The ones before 12 weeks are to cover them before their immune system is mature. By 12 weeks they are okay. This is from a vet who is retired and runs a vaccination clinic to make extra money. He does still do yearly shots after that (which I don't agree with), but that's another story.

We vaccinate at 8-10 weeks old (DAPP) for the first one and then a series of three vaccines every 3-4 weeks finishing when they are 16-18 weeks old. If vaccines are started at or after 16 weeks old, only 2 vaccines 3-4 weeks apart are needed to build up immunity. The rabies does not require a booster and the length it is good for is based on your state law. In Ohio the first one is good for one year and every one after that is good for 3 years.
