I agree Kathy. When my mom and I had our litter we started shots at 6 weeks. We took extra caution going to shows like my mom would take shoes off outside and bleach them and would change and wash hands thoroughly before even going down stairs to see the pups I wouldn't even see the pups since I didn't have clothes to change into got in my car and left. I even kept a pair of shoes at my moms that I would put on before I saw the puppies knowing they were safe new shoes. Some would say we were overly cautious but I never take chances. I talked with 4 people that I meant in stores saying they just lost their litter to parvo.

I don't take chances. I use Forte Dodge puppy shot at 6 weeks and 2 days before 8 weeks. Puppies that are leaving are allowed to go to their new homes after 8 weeks in PA. PA also wants rabies at 12 weeks now. I prefer new owners don't combine rabies w/ a puppy booster, but I realize my control is limited (like none) once a puppy leaves.

She uses modified live vaccines, Intervet Proguard Puppy. She gives rabies at 24 weeks and again at a year, then using the killed 3-year vaccine. She ALWAYS separates the rabies shot from Distemper/Parvo booster by 3 or 4 weeks. My vet wanted to give rabies with the Distemper/Parvo booster at a year and gave me a raised-eyebrow look when I insisted we wait four weeks before giving the rabies shot. Dr. Dodds doesn't recommend any other vaccines unless the disease is endemic in a particular area or kennel. http://www.i-love-dogs.com/forums/dog-health-nutrition/23275-dr-jean-dodds-n ew-vaccine-protocol-permission-crosspost.html http://www.dogs4dogs.com/blog/2009/08/06/treating-adverse-vaccine-reactions- by-jean-dodds-dvm/ Fran Henry On Oct 22, 2010, at 1:39 PM, Bokenkampgsd1@xxxxxxx wrote: > Never multiple....why our dogs immune systems are so messed up. > > Proguard/Intervet Puppy shot.....DH and Parvo only.
