Question

we just got a little puppy.. it looks like a month old already or less... when do you need to give them their shots?.. and how many shots is it in all?..

its priddy go**amn healthy..

Answer 1

Puppies need 3 shots all in all - 1 shot at 6-8 weeks old, another 2 booster shots at 10-12 weeks old AND 14-16 weeks old.

Depending on your local vet, he/she will decide what is necessary. Routinely a 7-in-1 shot is done for puppies which cover common infectious diseases e.g. canine parvovirus, canine hepatitis, leptospirosis etc. A rabies vaccination may also be indicated depending on where you live.

After the initial 3 puppy shots, the dog will need to be vaccinated annually thereafter.

During the initial vet visits, the vet will probably deworm your puppy as well. Deworming should be done every 2 weeks till the pup is about 3 months old. Then deworm every 1 month till it's 6 months old. Then deworm every 3 months for the rest of its life.

The vet will also speak to you about heartworm prevention - this can be done via monthly tablets or yearly vaccinations (discouraged because of some bad press awhile ago).

Before your puppy completes all its puppy shots, try not to bring it outside especially to dog parks where alot of other dogs hang out. This is to ensure that your puppy is protected adequately just in case it catches something nasty. Only bring your puppy out 1 week AFTER its last puppy shots so the vaccination has time to take effect and your puppy will be immunized against bugs out there! :)

Have fun with the pup. Woof!

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://bitly.im/hW5lN

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Answer 3

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more https://tinyurl.im/07sKF

After I started training my dog, he became very attached to me and loves to stay by side as long as he can. But just going to them won't help. You have to practice what they teach you outside of the class and you need to keep up with it at least every now and then after the class ends otherwise they'll just go back to previous habits. This course is a really good place to go for dog obedience classes. It get's your dog around other people and dogs to socialize while getting the training you need. As for electric collars, I would say to not get one. In my experience, they're only a negative effect on your dog. I mean of course you're going to need to correct your dog, but being positive and encouraging your dog works a lot faster and easier.

Every dog is different, so unless you have a german shepherd or a really smart dog, it might take a while to train her. You might get frustrated with her, but go easy. She's still a puppy and has a lot of energy. A backyard or somewhere to run will help her get rid of a lot of energy that might cause her to misbehave from boredom.

Answer 4

It is very important to give you puppy his shots. Then need shots to prevent Parvo. I believe its at 8 wks and 16 wks. Then every year they need the 7 way shot plus a rabies shot (which is only given when they turn 1). It is also a good idea to get your puppy checked for worms. Its easier for them to get it as puppies. They also need to be tested for heartworms. Heartworms are serious and can eventually kill you dog.

When we first got our toy poodle we took her to get her first set of shots and failed to get her second set and she got the Parvo infection (which is airborne). She was at the vets for a couple of days with a 50/50 chance of making it. We got lucky. She is now 3 going on 4 in Nov. We are sure to take her every year when she is due for her shots.

Answer 5

Never!!.

Humans and animals are the same as far as shots are concerned.



Do not get vaccinated. There is no scientific proof that the theory of vaccination is valid, yet there is considerable proof that Vaccines cause illness and death.

Just sit back and think about it for a while. Does it feel like sense to inject a disease directly into your bloodstream?
The way to avoid disease is to strengthen the immune system. Vaccination weakens it.
