SHOTS

EIGHT-IN-ONE SHOT

This is the single most important shot your puppy will need to stay alive. Starting at five weeks of age the puppy must have three shots spaced at three week intervals. A yearly booster is required after that. If you do not get your precious puppy these shots, he or she has an EXCELLENT chance of dying. If your puppy is older than five weeks and hasn't had any of these shots, he must still have three shots spaced at three week intervals! This shot covers the dreaded distemper and parvovirus among others.

RABIES

This shot should be given at twelve weeks of age and yearly thereafter.

KENNEL COUGH

If your puppy will be boarding, traveling, or going to any type of school, this is a must. Schools and boarding kennels will not admit your dog without it. Many airlines require it as well.
