Over the last few years I have been reading and researching anything I can get my hands on about vaccinations--the pros and cons.

I have been shocked to find out that once a puppy or dog is immune to a disease (parvo, distemper, etc) it never EVER needs another vaccination. You can't make a dog MORE immune. The only way to know for sure if your dog is protected is to check titer levels. This completely goes against what most of our vets tell us--they push for those boosters.

What vaccine schedule do you breeders out there follow??

after the puppy shots/first adult shots, i run titers.
i do not get all their shots in one visit. one vaccine. 2 weeks later a different one. this is supposedly safer. more important, if your dog has an adverse reaction there is no question which vaccine caused it.
i vaccinate for rabies 3 yr killed. only because state law gives me no choice. i looked up info on that. interesting stuff. the rabies vaccine was mandatory before there was ever a reported case of dogs or cats having rabies.
i have heard that vaccines typically cover the dog for 7-10 years.

Hi Cindy..

I do a single killed Parvo at 9 weeks.. a Distemper/Measles at 11 weeks.. next time Parvo..next time Distemper/Measles..Then at 18 weeks I give a combo..without Lepto or Corona. I give my rabies at a year of age.. also, after the vaccine.. I give a homeopathic remedy called Thuja for 5 days following each shot. After that I give NO vaccines.. I check titers every couple years.. They have never been low.

Hi Jody,

Jody - why not do one vaccination and then check titers - rather than do so many and then check titers? I dont want to keep vaccination my dogs so much?

Cindy.. I give an eyedropper of Thuja for 5 days after vaccine..

Ed.. For my personal dogs.. I give one parvo.. one distemper measles...I am willing to take the risks with my own pup.. but for dogs that are going out to the public.. I suggest this schedule.. that way they have something to tell thier vets.. and they are not so quick to be bullied into the combo vaccines every 4 weeks. This is a schedule that alot of holistic people are on.. I suggest all my puppy classes read up on vaccinosis.. They will have to make thier own decisions.. but I am trying at least to educate them..

Jody -You are 100% right about Vets trying to bully people into too many vaccinations and not feeding an all-natural diet.I am lucky not to have that problem but I head about it ALL THE TIME.
