Puppy Vaccinations

[doggywoof]

Hi everyone,

Just wanting to know what vaccinations a puppy should get and at what age?

I got my furkids at 7 & 9 years of age so don't have any idea about puppy's...

Usually 6 weeks and approx 12 weeks of age. Some vets also advise on a third vaccination.

Then at 12 months of age and yearly (or 3 yearly they are now advising) boosters.

[Nekhbet]

6-8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks

c3 - c5 - c5

wouldnt trust anything less especially having a twice vacc dog with Parvo myself.

The 3 yearly is a specific vaccine created for that purpose but does not cover all diseases. the next vaccine after 16 weeks is at 16 months of age and every 12 months after.

Hi,

No puppy should be vac before eight weeks. Unless there are unusual circumstances IE=

bitch lost at birth or close after. Then I usually vac with a C3 at six weeks.

Then at 10 weeks I ask for Nobivac to be ordered in and give that.

Normally I would make sure that the pups have had no drinking contact with the

bitch from six to eight weeks.

Some bitches milk has been tested at six weeks and some still have anti bodies in the milk.

If anti bodies are present in the milk the vac will not work.

At 8 weeks I usually give a C4 .

From now on I will be waiting till 10 weeks and giving the Nobivac.

I do not vaccinate yearly. It is not necessary. Once the vac is introduced into the body

it will multiply and do its job should the dog come in contact with those diseases.

I don't quite get it. You use the normal C3 at 6 weeks, C4 at 8 weeks and Nobivac at 10 weeks???

With Nobivac there're only 2 vaccinations, aren't there? My pup gets one at 8 weeks and then another one at 16 weeks (both Nobivac).

As I need to put the dogs in the kennel the annual booster is neccessary.

Nobivac at 10 weeks.

If you want to vac at 8 weeks you can pick whatever you feel is best

for your dog. C3 C4 ????

My advise is to find a kennel that is modern and has moved with the times.

The vets all know that Vac is not necessary every year. This was discussed

at the vet conference in Hobart and that was ages ago now.

Don't be fooled by we have a new one that we give every three years either.

Its the same vac in a new bottle. Keeps the vets happy, remember they

made a lot of money out of yearly vac.
