Hello all, my partner and I are getting a Westie puppy in July. Spoke to the breeder and she said that we would get the first vaccination done at our own vets cos each vet dos it differently and you end up paying more going to two different vets. She is willing to get him vaccinated for us if we want her to. What would people suggest? I guess if he is vaccinated before he arrives then we would be able to take him out sooner, or it will feel sooner! Is it one week after the second jab?

Thank you!

Kat

we always get the jabs done with our own vet becuase you know where you are with everything then


i think its 2 weeks after the 2nd jab you can take them out

Some may disagree with me here

Get them done at your own vets after you have had your pup with you for at least a few days, preferably a week or two

Reason, scared little pup straight to vet nasty stingy needle in neck full of live vaccine - not that brilliant really

Happy pup settled with you been to vet for a visit no jab, goes in a week or two later much more relaxed and happy with the world and less likely to have a reaction.

I know this means you have delayed being able to get your puppy out and about but it should be a happier baby.

IF your breeder's vet uses the same vaccinations then you could consider having the first one but I would leave it after all a couple of weeks isn't going to make a difference to 12 or so years of a happy healthy life.

only my opinion folks

I am getting a puppy which is 7 weeks old but is not vaccinated yet. (Lhasa Apso) I already have a Lhasa Apso (8 years old) Can I introduce the pup to my dog that I have at home without her inoculations. I would be grateful for any members advice. I just want to do the right thing for the puppy as I just don't know what to do regarding this .
