Hello all,
I posted this on a mother forum yesterday and did receive some kind advice but I am still unsure what to do. Am speaking with my vet but wondered what your thoughts were….Background is…..We are picking up our new puppy next week (very excited).
My breeders vet has switched to a 3 stage vaccination programme....8, 10 and 12 weeks. The 12 weeks will be the Nobivac L4 which protect against 4 diseases....my breeder said mostly things carried by mice and rats.
My question or quandry is my recommended vet doesnt follow this programme (following the typical 8 + 10 weeks programme). Another one locally does follow the 3 stage process but the programme means that the dog would be house bound (save for carrying around) from 8-12 weeks. I am worried about keeping a dog in for an extra 2 weeks as it might hinder her socialisation. On the other handwWe also live in London so there will be plenty of rats and foxes who will have visited my garden (being realistic) so she needs to be protected.
What would the experienced owners amongst you advise. I can take the dog without her vaccnications and take her to local recommended vet for typical programme or follow the longer programme.
As you can tell I am confused…..hope my post makes sense to you all!.
And hope you can help please. xx
