Time for Core Vaccination Boosters

Here at Roanoke Creek Ranch, January means time for core vaccination boosters. I re-vaccinate core shots at 1 year old, then every 2-3 years after. If I’m planning to breed a particular female that year, I’ll vaccinate for sure in January to ensure maternally derived antibodies are passed along to the pups.

According to the AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines [1], core vaccinations for dogs are a combination vaccine against canine distemper virus, adenovirus-2, and parvovirus, with or without parainfluenza virus, and a vaccine against rabies virus.

We use NeoTech Vaccines [2]. We buy our vaccines from A to Z Vet Supply [3].
