Note: The following vaccine protocol is offered for those dogs where
minimal vaccinations are advisable or desirable. The schedule is one I
recommend and should not interpreted to mean that other protocols
recommended by a veterinarian would be less satisfactory. It's a matter of
professional judgment and choice.
Age of Pups Vaccine Type
9 - 10 weeks Distemper + Parvovirus, MLV
(e.g. Intervet Progard Puppy DPV)
14 weeks Same as above
16 -18 weeks (optional) Same as above
20 weeks or older,
if allowable by law Rabies
1 year Distemper + Parvovirus, MLV
1 year Rabies, killed 3-year product (give 3-4
weeks apart from distemper/parvovirus booster)
Perform vaccine antibody titers for distemper and parvovirus annually
thereafter. Vaccinate for rabies virus according to the law, except where
circumstances indicate that a written waiver needs to be obtained from the
primary care veterinarian. In that case, a rabies antibody titer can also be
performed to accompany the waiver request.
