We recommend waiting until 8-10 weeks of age for the first vaccination, and only give vaccines for the diseases that your puppy is likely to contact.  We give parvo and distemper as separate vaccines, which can be given at the same time, or at weekly intervals to minimize stress on the immune system.  We then recommend a booster vaccination 4-6 weeks later.  We then booster at 3 year intervals to to keep your pet current.

Antibody titers may be checked at the time a booster is due to see what level of protection your pet already has.

A detoxification protocol is available to help your pet process the vaccinations and minimize adverse effects

Rabies is given at 6 months of age and boosted at 3 year intervals.  We provide lyssin, a homeopathic remedy to specifically help eliminate the effects of the Rabies vaccine.

Bordetella vaccination may be given if required by boarding or daycare facility

Nosodes may be started at any age, and are particularly effective after a suspected exposure

A series of increasing potency is given and takes about 2 months to complete.  Booster doses of the highest potency are given at least annually, or more frequently based on risk of exposure.

We provide the following nosodes:  Dogs - parvovirus, distemper, bordetella, leptospirosis  Cats – Feline leukemia, distemper, upper respiratory viruses. 

Traditional Rabies vaccines are required by law, but we offer lyssin, a Rabies nosode to help eliminate the effects of the vaccination.

Nosodes will not generate a measurable antibody level. 

Your pet may stay perfectly healthy with no vaccinations at all.  Keeping a strong immune system through proper management may be all the defense your pet needs to fend off disease.  Your pet will gain some immunity from natural exposure.  This method may put your pet at some additional risk depending on life style and risk of exposure.

Strictly indoor cats have such a minimal risk of disease exposure, that we do not recommend vaccinating them at all.
