  • They start at 6 weeks. Check out this web-site, it will let you know when each shot needs to be given. http://www.rowananimalclinic.com/faq.htm
  • About six-weeks
  • Because we pretty much know that Vaccines have both pro and con issues I advise my clients to consider getting NOT the typical 4 in 1 vaccines, but to have their Vet administer the same shots INDIVIDUALLY with at least a two week wait between each vaccine. Yes, it makes it a longer process, but many Vets understand and agree that often Vaccines CAUSE almost as many problems as they help to prevent, many currently do not charge an office visit for EVERY single vaccine. They charge ONE office visit, give the first shot, and do a general health work up on the puppy/dog, and then just let you run in with the animal for the subsequent vaccines, charging only for the vaccine its self..this is only a quick in and out visit and you should repay the Vet by NOT asking a lot of questions since you are not being charged the standard office visit fee. This is the best site I've recently read over for explaining both Blood titers and the basic low-down on vaccinating our Companion Animals, dogs specifically. http://www.paw-rescue.org/PAW/PETTIPS/DogTip_vaccination.php http://www.google.com/search?q=Whats+in+Vaccines&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Canine Vaccines http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=3qP&q=What%27s+in+your+dog%27s+Vaccines&btnG=Search Humans/Google/assorted sites you may wish to check out on the topic of Vaccines that children are typically given. http://www.vaccinationnews.com/dailynews/may2001/whatsinvax.htm Canine Specific site...pretty good, offers some alternative ways to treat illness other than typical Western Medicine http://www.healthyhappydogs.com/Vaccinate Vaccines randomly tested have show such accidental additives in them as Mercury, skin, hair (both human and RAT) Feces, (both human and RAT), Formaldehyde and other dangerous chemicals...these have been found in both animal vaccines and human vaccines. There are currently studies being continued that point to childhood vaccines as being contributors to the rising number of children who become Autistic, and who develop ADHD, ADD and ODD. While these tests are not yet wholly conclusive, they ARE showing some painfully strong indications that the typical childhood vaccines appear to play a part in these increasing illness that our children are developing after they have receive their "baby shots." With specific regard to dog and other companion animals, there have been deaths (perhaps more with equines than canines at this point in time, documented ones). Documented negative reactions in all animals but specifically dogs include: skin, coat problems, ear problems, eyes, lungs, heart, kidneys, liver and behavioral issues that erupt without any overt cause or understanding...the relaxed, happy dog simply begins to behave erratically and aggressively, sometimes to the point of biting. Fearfulness, potty accidents, vomiting also have been linked to adverse reactions to vaccines. If you have your animal vaccinated, I say do it one shot at a time, spaced out. At least THIS WAY if there is an adverse reaction you know EXACTLY which vaccine caused it! You can then make an informed decision as to if you want to ever give your dog THAT vaccine again in the future. Studies have shown (as mentioned in the articles included in the above web sites) that dogs who received their puppy vaccines and then NEVER RECEIVED ANOTHER SINGLE ONE (EXCEPTING RABIES IN THE USA) still have enough remaining vaccine in their systems to provide adequate protection when the dog is 12 to 14 years of age!!! (these studies have been going on for quite some time as you might summarize!) It is a double edged sword. Parvo DOES exist, as does Kennel Cough...and if you board your dog out on occasion, it can be exposed to illness and disease at a time when the dog's resistance may be lower, because it causes the dog stress to be boarded out. Some Vets no longer suggest YEARLY vaccines of the basic promoted ones, but instead suggest vaccinating either every three years or some even say you can go five...they ARE catching on! Of course the pharmaceutical companies DON'T LIKE THIS AT ALL because they make money off of selling these products! Many Vets who still insist that you need yearly vaccines are not trying to harm your dog or rip you off, they have simply been taught the traditional Western Medicine way and are unaware and sometimes CLOSED MINDED to a different way of thinking about treatments. Your best recourse is to become INFORMED, learn all that you can, and use DIFFERENT sources to gain your information...compare studies..then you can speak with your Vet armed with information to SHARE. A good Vet will not only respect your efforts but will also likely delve in and start checking out the resources you share, and look for additional studies to research on their own. I decided to share THIS information with you, because you already HAVE the basic answer given on by other's here.
  • I think at about 6 weeks rabies vaccination can happen, check out the forums on www.dailypuppy.com, there are some experts there as well as really cute puppy pictures!
  • I think it was 6 weeks for my boxer.
