| Some Helpful Info. I just copied from the web Vaccinate puppies and kittens against the clinically important infectious agents such as distemper virus, parvovirus, panleukopenia and rabies. Avoid vaccinations before 6 weeks of age. Give 2 to 4 doses of vaccine spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Give annual booster vaccine at 1 year and give boosters every 3 years, unless otherwise required by law. Monitor serum antibody levels annually between boosters. (This means that your dog or cat should have a blood test done to measure the level of "immune memory" to a disease.) *Geriatric animals generally do not need booster vaccinations. Monitor serum antibody titers instead |

I just wanted to add that the *Geriatric (elderly) pets seemingly healthy can have accidental death due to booster vaccinations (die within minutes of the shot), so PLEASE do the monitoring instead. | |

| But also remember if your dog is insured, if you skip annual vacs and have them done 3 yearly your insurer may refuse to pay out on any claims. |
