John, I use the Galaxy 5 in 1 I get them from Jeffers pet. You just pull up some skin at the tp of the shoulder, and inject the Vaccine between the skin and muscle.

Good Luck with your Puppys!!

Canine Spectra 7 or 8. Get it at TSC. Pull skin up. Inject on the side of neck. Rub skin really well after administering the shot.

I wouldn't give a pups 1st shot using a 8 way , I use a 5 way which was recomended by my vet & is what he gives & use's , use to get them from him by the tray but after they add a little to the price & as prices have gone up I can get them a tad cheeper from Lambert's Vet , if you decide to use they , give them a call & ask for Shannon , I think her ext # is 10 tell her Randy Vanosdale told you to call her & she will give you a price break . Here's a link to the 1 I've been using for years and have never had a problem ,

I use the Galaxy 5. My vet said that is really all that is needed. I give a 7 way booster shot at 1 year as per the vet's advice. I buy them from my store. 25 shot kennel pack for $65. Just be careful where you get them. They must be refrigerated at all times prior to using them. Some stores, especially big farm store chains do not take care of the shots correctly. Just know who you get them from.
