    4 to 5 weeks old then once a month until they receive a series of 3 to 4 times then they receive a one year rabies with the last shot, there is also a five part shot or a seven part shot this means that they are covered for more diseases most vets use the five part. Then after one year they receive a booster and a three year rabies, check with the vet because lots of times they charge for an office visit with the first shot and then only charge for the shots on the next two visits, not an office charge, some vets charge office visit for all shots this is where it get expensive, so make sure you call first.

    First vaccination at 8 weeks

    second vaccination at 12 weeks

    third vaccination at 16 weeks

    rabies vaccination at 20 weeks or older

    Never give coronavirus, adenovirus-1 or giardia vaccinations.

    The above is the current protocol for the AAHA/AVMA and all 27 vet schools

    Check out Dr Ron Schultz, Dr Jean Dodds sites and look for articles from University of Wisconsin vet school, Cornell University, Purdue University, Dr Bob Rogers, Canine Vaccine Advocacy, Dr Carmichael

    Oh marvelous! so as that they aid you're taking him, thinking he replaced into 8 weeks, and now you locate out he's barely 6.5 weeks - sounds like some rip-off to me!! you already know he shouldn't in any respect have long previous from the nest before 8 weeks (despite if by using regulation, or no longer!!). i think of you will possibly terrific telephone your vet re the vaccinations as a results of fact they're frequently no longer performed before 8 weeks (interior the united kingdom) as mum's immunity continues to be there (customary) till around that later time. It starts dropping off from 5 weeks and usually vets sense 8 weeks is a reliable customary time to vaccinate - inspite of the undeniable fact that all people domestic dogs are distinctive, and the only thank you to somewhat understand whilst is the the terrific option time, is to have each and each guy or woman titre point verify. yet that's severe priced. so as that they decide for the 'customary'. All that would take place, if it did, by using vaccinating too quickly is it won't take. So do no longer take him off your assets till he's comprehensive the completed direction, and do communicate on your vet. and don't worry, he would be large.

    Schedule your puppy for a check-up with a veterinarian. Many puppies have already had some vaccinations before they go to their new owners. If your puppy has had any vaccinations or worming treatments, you should have been given some paperwork that states what has been done. Make sure you take that with you and show it to your vet. That will help him/her determine what your puppy needs next and when it needs to be done.

    They should get their first set at around six weeks and 2 more rounds in three week increments following the first set.
