[QUOTE="bambi_boy, post: 520960, member: 8052"] Little off on your "schedule". Dogs don't get wormed 2x a month, however they do need heartworm protection every month. Ok with that said, you also mentioned Ivomectrin. Heartguard's main ingredient is Ivomectrin, so, yes you can give ivomectrin, BUT - some herding breeds are sensitive to it. the "throw a little" in is not an accurate statement. Too much and you can kill your dog. It is VERY SPECIFIC dosage. Ivomectrin does cover a broad spectrum of parasites. ***Dogs MUST BE HEARTWORM NEGATIVE BEFORE BEGINNING HEARTWORM PREVENTION!!!*** Parvo 7-way is inaccurate, there is only one Parvo strain. 5-way Puppy Shot is Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (gives cross immunity to Adenovirus Type 1 Hepatitis), Parainfluenza, (MLV) Parvo 7-Way is Canine Distemper, Hepatitis (CAV-1), Canine Adenovirus Type 2, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus Vaccine, and (MLV & KV) Leptospira Bacterin (Agri Labs) here is the vac schedule according to SPCA & The Humane Society VACCINATION SCHEDULES: PUPPY VACCINATION SCHEDULE: 6-8 weeks - first vaccination of DA2PPv 10-12 weeks - second booster of DA2PPv 16 weeks - third booster plus rabies vaccination. As far a Rabies is concerned, you have to check your local ordinance to see what is the LAW in your area. Again, using supply bought Rabies may not be legal in the sense of recognized in your area, so again running the risk of it not being so. Personally I purchase my 7-way at my vets office (8 bucks) and that way I know that it is fresh. I have them do the rabies, so that I have the tag & the certificate. When you purchase the vaccine, there is a tab that you can pull (sticky) and just attach to your rabies certificate, put in your file – and boom your done. There is much controversy about the boosters regarding adult dogs, as in the frequency, but until there is stone hard evidence, then keep with the yearly until proven otherwise. [/QUOTE]
