At what age do you give your dogs there 1st,2ed,3rd shots?

6/9/12/

I give shots at 7, 10, 13, 16 weeks, 6 months and 1 year and May of each year thereafter.
I chose May because my birthday is in May and I remember to do it then.
The first 3 shots only give limited immunity.
Until about 2 weeks after their 16 week shot, I try not to let them around other peoples dogs and areas where other animals have been.
For worms, I alternate between 3 day treatments of Safeguard and 1 dose treatments of Ivomec every 2 weeks starting at 4 weeks until 2 weeks after the pups are weaned and then mostly just use Ivomec, once a month and Safeguard only if I see signs of tapeworm or if I see the pups eat something really nasty.

I had a vet tell me @ 6/12/16. I believe the idea is to have the 3 shots by 16 weeks of age , but not too close together,to allow the immune system to build up. I was told 3 was all that was needed. Also found out that the " yearly booster " isn't needed as often. The claim , by an old time vet , is that vaccines are normally good for 7-10 yrs. I got this link before from another beagler on this site. Watch the video clips on the top of his page. Check it out,,,,,,

Same thing I`ve heard and do. I also give a 7 way for the 4 th shot,5 way first three shots. Lots of different advice even from vets out there. Each one a little different.

That old country vet is right. The small animal vets really soak people now.
