About what age should a puppy be vaccinated?

Is it okay to vaccinate a puppy by 2 months Or before 2 months?it is because somebody is selling puppies and they vaccinated them before 2 months?will the puppy be healthy?

This is a controversial issue. I have stopped vaccinating my dogs. There is a ton of information on the internet about this issue. Look up vaccinosis. Some places require rabies, so i guess that has to be done. Definitely if your puppy has been vaccinated, it probably never needs another. Please do some research, this is very important for your pet's health. If you're thinking of buying from a breeder, you definitely should educate yourself on this issue before you make any decision.

Puppies routinely are vaccinated both before and after 8 weeks of age, till all their booster shots are completed by 16 weeks. The person from whom you got the pup should have given you his immunization record. If you did not get one, chances are he's had no vaccinations, and your vet needs to know that so he can start giving the pup all the proper immunizations now.http://www.sniksnak.com/doghealth/vaccinations.html

well really when ever you want it too

Vaccinations are started between 6 and 8 weeks of age, and are given in a series, ending at about 16 weeks of age (then boosters at appropriate intervals after that, depending on the vaccine). So yes, it's possible that a 2 month old puppy has had its first set of vaccines, but it will need more. You can discuss a vaccine schedule with your vet when you take it in for its post-purchase exam.

I totally agree with cllconni. I am a CPDT and have paid close attention to the changes in vaccinations. There is an epidemic of over vaccinating which is the opinion of many people (including myself) that it can cause medical issues, but this is not to say that it will. The only vaccine that is required by the State of NY is the Rabies vaccine. Try to find a vet that practices natural and alternative methods and ask them for their opinion.Good luck and do your homework!

Three months old is the best to vaccinate your puppies. At one month old the puppy needs to be dewormed. When you vaccinate a puppy at 2 months old some goes feverish and may die due to the fact that their sensitive bodies can't adapt to the vaccine and they became allergic.

Maternal immunity lasts for at least 8 weeks so no benefit ( and there are risks) to early vaccination. If you are going to vaccinate, start at 10-12 weeks with one distemper, two weeks later one Parvo. That should be sufficient for life.

People need to realise that a vaccination is NOT a "magic bullet" that provides instant immunity.One reason is that it takes about 2 weeks for the active immune system to learn the "shape" of each virus, and work out how to disassemble that virus, and then "store" the 2 sets of information. The task is made easier by presenting attenuated viruses (ones that are almost dead but have not begun disintegrating).Another reason is that, except by taking blood titres every couple of days, it is impossible to know when the pup's passive immunity (antibodies it received in the dam's colostrum aka "first milk") have faded away to a stage where THEY won't destroy the attenuated viruses before the active immune system has had time to "learn" those viruses. But by that stage there aren't enough antibodies left to destroy any "wild" virus the pup comes in contact with.So responsible breeders want their pups vaccinated at 8, 12 and 16 weeks old, to minimise the risk of a "wild" virus infecting pups before the vaccination takes effect. And responsible vets give a VERY thorough inspection before agreeing to vaccinate, so that they minimise the risk of injecting into a pup that is already incubating a "wild" virus.If there is an epidemic underway, they might want to reduce the gap so that the shots are given at 6, 9, 12 and 16 weeks. but never closer than 3 weeks, never further apart than every 4 weeks.http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/The_GSD_Source/links/Vaccination_001199872827/ will give you the official protocol for vaccinating. Vets (and their insurers) being highly conservative, the protocol recommends a further vaccination after 6 months old, but my GSDs have never needed it.• If you are in an area where the law requires rabies shots, delay the first as long as the law allows, then ask for the one that gives you a certificate valid for 3 years - and donate to the research team trying to convince legislators that rabies shots last for life, or at least for 7 years.• If you are in a heartworm area, ask you your vet when to start the preventative - having to kill an infestation of adult heartworms will probably kill your pet, as the dead worms block the heartvalves.Your pup is sure to have roundworms, and will need redosing several times, spaced to kill any newly hatched larvae before they are old enough to start laying eggs or migrating into the tissues.

If you don't know how, click my group's link then, near the top of the page, in the field saying [Search for other groups], type the real name of your pet's breed. (For a cross-breed, either search for the one he is most like, or do separate Searches for each breed.)Each group's Home page tells you which aspects they like to discuss, and how active they are. Unlike YA, they are set up so that you can have an ongoing discussion with follow-up questions for clarification. Most allow you to include photos in your messages.Les P, owner of GSD_Friendly: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/GSD_Friendly"In GSDs" as of 1967

Puppies in the uk are vaccinated at 8 weeks and then at 10 weeks. Then they can go out at 12 weeks
