Any questions, call anytime! Vets are more than welcome to call as well. 580-695-7711

Why do we do shots at these times?
It's very important to remember that vaccines don't take effect immediately. It takes 10-14 days for a vaccine to give a puppy any protection.
A shot given at 6 weeks old is just beginning to take effect at 8 weeks old.
NeoPar is a very safe vaccine that is made just for Parvo. The Doctors at Neo Tec who make the vaccine are very helpful in answering any questions about vaccinations, how they work and the importance of timing when vaccinating puppies. Their website is NeoTecVaccines.com 1-877-636-8324

Why do we worm so often?
Worming your puppy doesn't kill worm eggs. Only the worms. It's a process. You have to stop the life cycle of the worms.

Rabies: Given by your local veterinarian (age at vaccination may vary according to local law).

_________________________________________________________________________

* A combination vaccine, often called a "5-way" usually includes adenovirus cough and hepatitis, distemper, parainfluenza and parvovirus. Some combination vaccines may also include leptospirosis ("7-way" ) and/or coronavirus. The inclusion of either canine adenovirus-1 or adenovirus-2 in a vaccine will protect against adenovirus cough and hepatitis: adenovirus-2 is highly preferred.

** Some puppies may need additional vaccinations against parvovirus after 16 weeks of age. Consult with your local veterinarian. Be aware....just because your puppy has had all required shots, it is not 100% guaranteed your puppy cannot get sick.

~ Typically at 14 weeks of age your puppy should have had all needed shots. Remember, vaccines take 10-14 days to take effect. Now your new puppy is ready to explore and venture into the world. At this time you may go visit higher traffic dog areas that before were considered off limits to your new puppy. Still using common sense of course! Have fun and happy puppy socializing! ~
