Ok after doing extensive research and going to my first vet visit for Rocky's first set of shots, I found out this:
Puppies should have their first set of shots at 6 weeks. Second set at 9 weeks; 3rd at 12 weeks and last set with Rabies shot at 16 weeks.
My vet vaccinates the dog for:
Distemperment / Hepatitus / Parainfluenza / Parvovirus and Coronavirus
Another place I saw, called the VCA and sponsored by the Humane Society, they do
Distemperment / Hepatitus / Parainfluenza / Parvovirus and Lepto.
Does it matter that my puppy is going onto 10 weeks and has not gotten his Lepto? I'm worried that my vet didn't give him his Lepto yet and when I had gotten him from the shelter they did not give him Lepto yet either as records indicate. But on the other hand the VCA does not have a set of shots for the Coronavirus.
The set of 5 shots (DHP-P w/ Coronavirus) at my vets = $16 + 12 = $28
VCA set of 5 shots (DHLP-P) is $25.
VCA is a bit cheaper but it doesnt include the coronavirus and my vets is expensive by $3 but does not include the lepto vaccine. Which one would be utmost importance and should I vaccinate for Lepto as well?
