Naturalla: I don’t do this but there are people, some friends of mine, who naturally raise their
puppies and they get no vaccines, except rabies. I say this because people have this
thought that you must listen to your vet regarding vaccines. I’m not telling anyone to
listen to their vet or don’t. I listen to my holistic vet only, not my regular vets. One of them
is actually fine with me doing what I believe is correct; the other one, not so much. The
other one is a VCA owned clinic and they push everything and anything. I use them only
because of their long clinic hours. You didn’t say this but I hate reading of people who’s
told them what they had to do. It’s your (general your) dog, no one can make you give
vaccines, get them altered, etc.
So, anyway, with Boone, he had way more shots than I normally would have done but he’s 8, I wasn’t so in tune to stuff like titers. Ginger came to me at almost five months of age and she
had more vaccines than I would have given her. If I ever get another puppy, I will probably do one round of puppy shots and call it a day, titering after that. Dogs should get their immunity from their moms.
