Personally, my vet comes to my house at +/- 6 weeks. The last place I want a puppy who isn't fully immunized is a vet's office. (Call me anal, it won't hurt my feelings). In fact, she MUST come first thing, directly from her house before she'd have a chance to be in contact w/ a sick animal/ (Again...call me anal). She writes a health certificate on EVERY animal. This protects both me and the prospective buyer. I still do my own shots.

My vet does a thorough physical before giving the shot, and has found other problems a couple of times. These findings ended up saving me a bundle of money. He does not charge for an office visit for this shot. Doris E ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
