Note: The following vaccine protocol is offered for those dogs where minimal vaccinations are advisable or desirable. The schedule is one I recommend and should not be interpreted to mean that other protocols recommended by a veterinarian would be less satisfactory. It's a matter of professional judgment and choice.
Age of Pups |
Vaccine Type |
9 - 10 weeks |
Distemper + Parvovirus, MLV (e.g. Merial Nobivac [Intervet Progard] Puppy DPV) |
14 weeks | Same as above |
16 -18 weeks (optional) | Same as above (optional) |
20 weeks or older, if allowable by law | Rabies |
1 year | Distemper + Parvovirus, MLV |
1 year | Rabies, killed 3-year product (give 3-4 weeks apart from distemper/parvovirus booster) |
Perform vaccine antibody titers for distemper and parvovirus every three years thereafter, or more often, if desired. Vaccinate for rabies virus according to the law, except where circumstances indicate that a written waiver needs to be obtained from the primary care veterinarian. In that case, a rabies antibody titer can also be performed to accompany the waiver request. See www rabieschallengefund.org
