I gave mine 7 way at 5,7,9 and had no problems.I can buy the 7 way ,25 for 68 dollars which comes out to about 2.75 a shot.

You can buy the same exact vaccine that your vet orders. Their vaccine is not stronger or different. I personally give a 5 way Proguard 5. I order it from revivalanimal.com I also order the syringes and they usually give free health records along with it. You can add lepto if necessary at 12 weeks. I do 6,8,12,16

good luck,

always buy shots from vets,feed stores will sell them even if they get hot,or too cold,so they are worthlss.

i give all my pups a shot at 4 weeks that consists of only the parvo vaccine,then at 6 weeks i give a 8 in 1 and every 3 weeks i give follow up 8 in 1 ;s till they are 15 weeks,then i give them a 8 in one at 6 months.

some think 4 weeks ids too young.but all the vets i have spoke to say that it is a good idea to build their amune system up to parvo as early as possible,and what is 6 bucks compared to loosinb a 250 dollar beagle or 1500 dollar bulldog pup?

it is a no brainer.

danny most vets down here wont give a pup its first set of shots untill 8 weeks,,,,then its 20 bucks a pup and when you got 9 pups thats a pretty good chunk against doing it yourself,,,,i give my other hounds thier shots for 2.25 apiece,,,,,,,,and do the places you order from pack them in ice,,,,,,

Ok I have bought mine at the local TSC..And theirs are in a fridge & cold ..Is that ok? I don't buy the box because I only have 5 dgos right now so would do me no good to buy that many.
