Re: Shots??
Not trying to steal your post but does anyone know why the 5-way shot cost more than the 5-way? At the TSC where I live the 5-way cost about $2.00 more than the 7-way.
I give my shots at 6, 9, 12 and 16 weeks.

Re: Shots??
Just curious as to why you vaccinate yearly with 7-way? Have you seen or known of any study saying that a yearly vaccine is needed?RunninHard wrote:5-way @ 6,9,12 weeks

Re: Shots??
I give my pups two seven ways, the first at 4-5 weeks and a booster a week or so later. I have in the past used a five way for the first go round but for nothing more than simplicity I now use seven ways.
Not afraid to think outside the box or walk outside the crowd.

Re: Shots??
You know the saying, "you can lead a horse to water, but ya can't make him drink........ especially if he's been vaccinated so many times his immune system is compromised & his central nervous system begins to break down years before it's time as a result" ....
Ok..... so that's not exactly how the saying goes....lololol
