So our new puppy is coming home at the end of May! We are so excited and I can't wait to start training, socializing, and everything else!
After we lost our last boy to cancer, I started doing a lot of reading about links to cancer and vaccinations. I plan of having this same conversation with my vet, but wanted to get all of your insights as well. My breeder and I have already had this conversation.
What were your vaccination plans? What vaccinations did you give your dogs? and when (age) were they given? How far apart?
I'm waiting until he turns at least 6 months before he gets rabies vacc, closer to a year if I can. But what are the other potential dangerous/damaging vaccinations for pups? I've done some searching around and please redirect if there is a thread that I missed that answers this.
Also, as an aside, what about flea and tick control? I can't imagine that these are healthy substances that we are putting on our dogs. We need it, as we live in a wooded area with a pond behind our house (flea and tick central!).
Thanks in advance!
