What are the shots that a 10 weeks old german shepherd needs and after in the future?

Question

price of the shots

Answer 1

CALL YOUR VET!

Answer 2

All dogs get 3 sets of shots, beginning at about 4 - 6 weeks of age. The first and second set of shots are called DHLPP and depending on your city laws, may or may not have to be admistored by a vet. Otherwise you can actually find them for pretty cheap at most feed stores. They get the shots every 2-3 weeks and the third set of shots is usually given around week 12 with the rabies vaccine. Now the reason for this is that most mother will wing there puppies at 4-6 weeks of age, however, it take anywhere from 4-6 additional weeks to get the mothers antibodies from her milk out of the puppies body. So the shots usually will not take until the third set. However, the antibodies may get out of the body earlier and there for you need to do the 3 sets to help protect the puppy from distemper and parvo. Most vets usually do a puppy package and may or may not include the spay or neuter for that puppy. If it is included, then it cost about $100 dollars, other wise, it is around $30 to $50 for the puppy package. Now also, petsmart and petco run low cost vaccine clinics on the weekends once a month, so you can get them for as little as $20. Every year after that they will need another DHLPP, and Rabies. Now in some places you can get a 3 yr rabies and I have heard that they are coming out with a 3 yr DHLPP. But the dog would have to be 1-2 yrs old. Hope this helps you.

Answer 3

A puppy needs a series of 3 vaccinations (they should NEVER be started before the puppy has completed his 7th week and preferably 8-9 weeks)

8-9 weeks distemper/parvo/canine hepatitis/adenovirus-2
12 -14 weeks repeat
16 -18 weeks repeat

20 weeks or older rabies

A year from the date of the last vacciantion a booster is given and then no more for 3 years

Lepto, parainfluenza, lymes and bordatella (kennel cough) should NOT be given to every dog..only those that are at high risk of exposure.

Coronavirus, adenovirus-1 and giardia should NOT be given to any puppy/dog ever.

The above is the recommended protocol from the AAHA and all 27 vet schools. It is also the one recommended from studies by Dr.Jean Dodds and Dr. Ron Schultz.

Answer 4

Most of the time they get about 4 sets of shots. The first puppy exam and shots run about $45 at my vet then each booster set after that is about $26. They will get a series of them
at 6 weeks old should have had general exam
DHP-PV-CV (1st for distemper parvo/hepatitus/parainfluenza-parvo-carona)
Fecal Flotation (for parasites)
Heartworm prevention
flea & tick prevention

at 9 weeks should have exam
DHP-PV-CV 2nd set
Fecal Flotation
heart worm prevention
flea and tick prevention

at 12 weeks should have exam
DHP-PV-CV 3rd set
Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
Fecal Flotation
Heartworm prevention
Flea and tick prevention

at 15 weeks should have exam
Parvo Vaccine
Rabies I year injection
Heartworm prevention
flea and tick prevention

Another website I found says
6 to 8 weeks old First puppy shot (DHLPP)+ Corona
11 to 12 weeks old Second puppy shot (DHLPP)+ Corona
15 to 16 weeks old 'Third puppy shot (DHLPP)+ Corona
over 4 months old- Rabies ( repeat 1 Year later)
7 to 9 months old first heartworm test
Adult dogs after 1 year old
DHLPP- yearly
Heartworm test-yearly
Rabies- every 3 years (after second rabies shot)
Bordetella- yearly

Answer 5

Depends on what the pup has already had; we don't know that.

If you are concerned about prices check and see if your vet or the local shelter offers a vaccine clinic. I think PetSmart does as well.
