Vaccinations

The Best Medicine Is Prevention

Vaccines are an everyday part of our life. We vaccinate our young ones as they grow and follow a recommended protocol. With more information becoming available as with the potential risks with overvaccinating, we have changed our vaccination protocols based on the recommendations from AAHA, AAFP, and the most current symposiums. (Why put your loved one at risk for a serious disease if vaccination can prevent that financial burden?)

Our vaccination protocol is as follows:

DOGS Core vaccinations:

First DAPP vaccine is given between 6-8 weeks
Then the same vaccine is repeated every 3-4 weeks until the puppy is 15 - 16 weeks old.
Rabies is given after 4 months of age. Both DAPP and Rabies are boostered in one year then every 3 years after that.
DAPP= Distemper/Adenovirus/Parvovirus/ Parainfluenza

Additional Vaccinations:
Bordatella yearly for those at risk
Lymes vaccine yearly for those at risk.
