billy whizz 141 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 The problem is, if you go away for a few days or on holiday, and you have to use kennels, they wont accept the Dog unless its boosters, and kennel cough vaccine are up to date. Also as far as i am aware needs to be up to date if your dog/s are insured. i thought this but ive got mine insured without boosters and declared this there was no difference in price same price either way.

We just take ours with us now. To got to France was dead easy, just needed rabies jab and tapeworm before coming home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 My vet has just told me that they are recommending THREE initial puppy jabs now: because maternal immunity is lasting longer than it used to, due to bitches being in better health, better cared for etc. Has anyone heard this? Is it just another rip off vet scam, or is there really evidence to back up this information? They now recommend getting a third jab at around 16 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ginga john 268 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I do pups at 8 weeks for parvo then at 12 weeks with a combination vaccine (7 in 1) then the same vaccine for a booster at 12, 24 and 36 months then nothing I will give a lepto only booster of there is any ratting planned but haven't had any for ages :-( Once the dogs immunity is achieved after year three there's no need for boosters at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ginga john 268 Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) My vet has just told me that they are recommending THREE initial puppy jabs now: because maternal immunity is lasting longer than it used to, due to bitches being in better health, better cared for etc. Has anyone heard this? Is it just another rip off vet scam, or is there really evidence to back up this information? They now recommend getting a third jab at around 16 weeks. I read the blurb that comes with vaccines I use (Vanguard plus 7) and it says that in some cases a further dose will be required four weeks after the first dose, doesn't say why or when though !! Just to add that these vaccines cost between £6 and £10 for the vet to buy and they charge them out at some pretty ridiculous prices, I have heard of a vet local to me charging £90 for two vacs, one parvo and one multi, and they're crap ones that don't have a lepto vac in them, some vets are good, most vets are just very very greedy Edited September 25, 2012 by ginga john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
