STOP
Read this first.
Pet Parents need to stand up NOW, more than ever and stop the forcing of vaccinations upon out pets. YEP, try to have a teeth cleaning done without your dog being fully vaccinated yearly. Vets are refusing medical care for your pets in need because you will not vaccinate. If we all say NO to this forced vaccination mandate, then they will be forced to stop this.
They will start losing money.
SAY NO!!!!!
Do not give into this corruption.
Follow the protocol below for a new dog. Then titer.
Do not vaccinate your dog continuously. It's madness!

Recommended Vaccination Protocol by Dr.Coger
Best Practices for Vaccination of Dogs
1. In accordance with fundamental medical principles and vaccine manufacturers’
recommendations, vaccinate only healthy dogs. If there is a health condition
present, it should be addressed, and the vaccine administered at a later date, when
the condition is resolved.
2. If blood testing, such as 4Dx test or a complete blood count and body chemistry
profile, is being run, wait for results before vaccinating the dog. If results are
abnormal, resolve the abnormality before vaccinating.
3. Do not administer more than one vaccine at a time.
4. When spreading out vaccines, use a 4-week interval between them.
5. A puppy’s initial vaccine should be administered no earlier than 10 weeks of age.

6. Take appropriate precautions with a puppy's exposure to disease, especially parvovirus, prior to proving immunity with a titer.
7. Do not vaccinate females in season. Hormonal changes can alter a normal response to vaccines. |

8. Do not vaccinate at times of stress, such as during boarding, grooming, or at the time of surgery. Do not vaccinate dogs with a previous history of adverse reactions.
9. Kennel cough (Bordetella) is not a vaccine preventable disease. Vaccination does not prevent disease, nor have action against all causative agents.
10. Canine influenza is typically a mild and self-limiting disease. Vaccination does not prevent disease, but may lessen the severity. Vaccination for one strain does not protect against others. Vaccination is not indicated for most dogs.

Age Vaccine
10 weeks Parvovirus
14 weeks DAP (Distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus)
17 weeks Distemper/Parvovirus titer. If inadequate, repeat DAP
and re-titer in 4 weeks.
22 weeks Rabies
1 year post last vaccination Distemper/Parvovirus titer
1 year post initial Rabies vaccination Rabies Vaccine 3 year, according to applicable laws
Perform vaccine titers for distemper and parvovirus every three years thereafter, if desired.
However, a “low” titer in a dog who previously had protective antibody levels is not necessarily an indication for re-vaccination, as memory cells likely persist. Vaccinate for rabies virus according to applicable state laws.
10 weeks Parvovirus
14 weeks DAP (Distemper, adenovirus, parvovirus)
17 weeks Distemper/Parvovirus titer. If inadequate, repeat DAP
and re-titer in 4 weeks.
22 weeks Rabies
1 year post last vaccination Distemper/Parvovirus titer
1 year post initial Rabies vaccination Rabies Vaccine 3 year, according to applicable laws
Perform vaccine titers for distemper and parvovirus every three years thereafter, if desired.
However, a “low” titer in a dog who previously had protective antibody levels is not necessarily an indication for re-vaccination, as memory cells likely persist. Vaccinate for rabies virus according to applicable state laws.
As common sense and good medical practice would dictate, do NOT vaccinate females during heat, pregnancy or lactation. Do not vaccinate during times of stress such as: surgery, travel, boarding, grooming, illness or infection. Do not vaccinate puppies earlier than 8 weeks.
Dr Robb's Recommendations
My vaccine protocol for puppies:
First and foremost know this protocol should be adjusted based on a discussion between the pet owner and the veterinarian considering the puppies unique individual situation, its risk factors and owner’s desire and understanding.
I start with a single antigen parvo vaccine at 12 weeks followed by a single antigen distemper vaccine two weeks later at 14 weeks.
I then check titers for distemper and parvo at 16 weeks.
If the titers are protective, I hold off on further vaccination until at least 6 months when the rabies vaccine may be given. Some pet owners may want to wait until one year for rabies vaccination depending on risk factors.
I follow up with one last titer check at 26 weeks to make sure we have circulating antibodies against distemper, parvo and rabies. If we do this assures active immunity against all three viruses.
I would then recommend rechecking titers 1 year later to see if any boosters are needed. Approximately 30 percent of the dogs will need a booster vaccine(s).
The dosage of vaccine given is adjusted for the weight of the pet.
This vaccine protocol accounts for the fact that overdosing and over vaccination compromises the immune system and can set up lifelong medical issues some of which can lead to premature death of the pet.

Dr Robb has taken a hiatus from titering so use Dr Dodds instead.
If your vet charges a fortune for titers or doesn't know where to have them done, they should look into Kansas State University and get signed up with them and your vet can ship the blood straight to them. The vet can charge a slight markup to have them done and make a profit.
