Does my dog need vaccinating once its had its puppy jabs?
Yes. The primary vaccination course does not give life long protection and hence annual boosters are necessary. It has now been confirmed however that some of the vaccinations need only be given every three years. The following is the protocol used at Moor Cottage once a primary course is given: First booster: should ALWAYS be a full booster: Canigen DHPPiL (making sure that each puppy is fully protected and has not slipped through the net.) Second Booster: Canigen PiL* Third Booster: Canigen PiL* Fourth Booster: Canigen DHPPiL Fifth Booster: Canigen PiL* Sixth Booster: Canigen PiL* Seventh Booster: Canigen DHPPiL etc etc Thus, distemper, parvo virus and hepatitis protection need only be done every third year following the initial protection.
