THE RIGHT TIME TO VACCINATE
By peace | November 19, 2005
WHEN SHOULD YOUR DOG BE VACCINATED?
Puppies will be “temporarily” protected against many diseases by antibodies received through their mother’s milk. Unfortunately, these maternal antibodies may also neutralise vaccines. A puppy will respond to vaccination when these maternal antibodies decline sufficiently.
There are many diseases that are fatal to dogs. Fortunately, we have the ability to prevent many of these by the use of very effective vaccines. In order to be effective these vaccines must be given as a series of injections.
