blurryswine 0 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi all, I know all puppies need to have their inoculation jabs but why two?. Whats stopping the vet giving one big jab is it just down to money or is there a health reason?. Cheers Blurry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waidmann 105 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 the first set of jabs is an "introduction" to the immune system the second a "booster"(they are slightly different jabs in the make up. only after the second jab is the dog to be considered"inoculated". the cost at the vets is unreal(i paid nigh on £50 for the course and a FREE microchip for my terrier and lurcher both,the yearly booster jabs i will do myself in future). waidmann Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorkyJohn 808 Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) The only problem doing your own boosters is if you intend/need to board your dog in kennels for holidays etc as you don't have a proper innoc card. Then again I've never felt the need for boosters after their first jabs & have never had any trouble. On the rare occasion I do go on holiday I just fill the jeep up with fuel, fill the fridge with lager & tell my mate HE's on holiday for two weeks!
