Please help with shots
 

I am getting ready to giv my pups (7 weeks old) their vaccination shots. I purchased the 7 in one shots and the pharmisist says I need to give them again in 2 weeks. How do I give them their shots? When I was younger my dad used to pull up on the skin on top of the neck but I want to make sure I do it correctly and do not hurt my dogs. Any info would be great.

the shots should have a pic. of the dog and where and how to give it. if not pinch up the skin on the back of the neck or shoulder give the shot into that loose skin.that all there is to it.
it shouldn't hurt the pup,and yes you need to give at least two shots.one now and another in a few week and I give another in about 6 mo. then onece a year.

A better choice would be to do it through your Vet. Only slightly more expensive -- and worth every penny.

Make sure that the shots that you are buying are actually going to work for a pup that age. Some shots will only work if the pup is so old. Many manufactuers give a suggested age for their products to be used.

I ALWAYS vaccinate my dogswas younger I had a dog that got parvo, because he didn't have his shots. Yes, we give all of our dogs their vaccinations here.

I usually give them at 6, 8 and 10 weeks then Ivomec once a month and rabies once a year.
