All dog owners: What do you think about the new vaccine protocol?
Q. I am purchasing a Maltese puppy. When I receive him at 12 weeks old he will be UTD.

Beware, not all vets are following the new recommendations because it hurts their bottom line. I have been following the "new" vaccine protocol for many years and will continue to do so. For your puppy, I would recommend one more vaccine with parvo, distemper and adenovirus - 2 (no lepto, no corona) at 16… [cont.]

A. Because it will cost a ton of money and do absolutely nothing for the environment. Something even the people who came up with this nonsense admitted some time ago.
