| Age of Pups | Vaccine Type |
|---|---|
| 9 weeks | MLV Distemper/Parvovirus only (e.g. Intervet Progard Puppy) |
| 12 weeks | MLV Distemper/Parvovirus only (e.g. Intervet Progard Puppy) |
| 16-20 weeks | MLV Distemper/Parvovirus only (e.g. Intervet Progard Puppy) |
A TOTAL OF 3 DOSES ONLY
| 24 weeks or older, if allowable by law | Killed Rabies Vaccine |
| 1 year | MLV Distemper/Parvovirus only booster |
| 1 year ( give 3-4 weeks apart from Dist/Parvo booster) | Killed 3 year rabies vaccine |
MLV=modified-live virus
After 1 year, annually measure serum antibody titers against specific canine infectious agents such as distemper and parvovirus. This is especially recommended for animals previously experiencing adverse vaccine reactions or breeds at higher risk for such reactions (e.g., Weimaraner, Akita, American Eskimo, Great Dane). Another alternative to booster vaccinations is homeopathic nosodes. This option is considered an unconventional treatment that has not been scientifically proven to be efficacious. One controlled parvovirus nosode study did not adequately protect puppies under challenged conditions. However, data from Europe and clinical experience in North America support its use. If veterinarians choose to use homeopathic nosodes, their clients should be provided with an appropriate disclamer and written informed consent should be obtained.
I use only killed 3 year rabie vaccine for adults and give it separated from other vaccines by 3-4 weeks. In some states, they may be able to give titer test result in lieu of booster.
I do NOT use Bordetella, corona virus, leptospirosis or Lyme vaccines unless these diseases are endemic in the local area pr specific kennel. Futhermore, the currently licensed leptospira bacterins do not contain the serovars causing the majority of clinical leptospirosis today.
I do NOT recommend vaccinating bitches during estrus, pregnancy or lactation
