Guest Anonymous Posted August 4, 2003 Posted August 4, 2003 What are the key times as far as dogs go to get thier shots? I have often wondered how many boosters and how frequent they are and when they occur.... who knows? Quote

Guest Anonymous Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 traditional protocol calls for yearly vaccines (including rabies) new protocol which is widely gaining acceptance calls for 3 year vaccines especially rabies. this is the methods we use and prefer. On the off years it is still important to do a yearly check up and check titers for immune coverage. Quote

Peng1zrule Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 The rabies shots goes by your local regulation. Check with YOUR area's animal control or vet's office--SOME states honor do-it-yourself rabies shots, but I wouldn't (and my state doesn't) I dislike the every-year shots (for other diseases) and get them only every three years or if there comes a reason to be worried, such as if I notice an article on an outbreak of lepto, or a neighborhood dog or friend's dog gets parvo or distemper or something. Then I'll get the boosters. Pups should get ALL shots, on time, especially the parvovirus, which kills so quickly. american pitbull terriers, german shepherds, rottweilers, and dobermans happen to be very vulnerable to parvo, for some reason...
