Can anyone please post an easy to read timetable for vaccinations required through time life for any GSD. Thanks. |

| When Parvo came, I found that DHLP-Parvo shots started at 5 weeks of age (on the dot) and given every 3 weeks, until 4 months of age (5 shots) worked. No more parvo. No distemper, No hepatitis, no Leptosprosis . I do not give any more shots except rabies. I do not get any diseases after 4 months of age. Ever. I go to dog shows, herding trials, training classes. Dogs from all over. No problems, No problems with immune diseases in old age either. Calif.: Rabies shot due at 4-5 months of age. 1 year license. Then a rabies shot every 3 years. No rabies in dogs since 1961 in San Diego County, so it works. I have had some diseases similar to parvo, (a corona virus?) during the 1990s when pups were about 7 weeks of age or so Other people's pups had the diseases too. They were easy to treat, hand feeding of very slurpy canned dog food, and amoxicilan by weight. I haven't had any of these "little" diseases since 2000 or so. Corona virus shots were included in the regular one ie DHCP-Parvo sold as puppy shots. But then I have heard that these corona shots don't work. Oh well. We had 2 heartworm cases one year, near to Camp Penelton. It's too dry for many mosquitos, unless you live near an estuary or perhaps reservoirs. I have only heard of one German Shepherd that had heartworms, and that was about 40 years ago. I have never given heartworm medicine. We don't have Lyme disease here either. The deer don't carry it. Bortedella shots are only good for 6 months. So only if you board your dog do you need it. Needless to say I treat my own pups. I go to a breeder vet. who will give me prescrictions as I need them/ Check with the long time breeders in your area for the problems you may have. By the way, a book written by a vet for self diagnosing of problems, gave a 4 week interval for DHP-P shots. Good luck Have Fun Alice |

| Consult your local vet, as your locality or region might have some variation from the standard routine. Normally, you give first shot of "Dhlpp" at 6 weeks of age, second shot of Dhlpp at 8 weeks and again at 12 weeks(some vets gives at intervals of 3 weeks). Your locality or region might require "heart worm" prevention: consult your vet. At 4 months of age you give "anti-rabies". Note: you'll need annual boosters thereafter. However, these are subject to your local laws or legislation. ie in my locality or region, you'll have to produce an "anti-rabies vaccination certificate" of not more than "one year" in the event that you pet got someone bitten. On the other hand, recent discoveries show that these vaccines last near a life time. But for the sake of your pets health, others and the law, it's advisable that you adhere to the "annual boosters". Still see your local vet. |
