brazer 287 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Only if i wanted to kennel them to go on hols... Had parvo here and the older dogs (most of which havent had boosters for years) werent affected... Oldest bitch (8yrs at the time) was sick for half a day. Had several pups and lost a few of them Pretty sure we brought the parvo home from a show. JMO its best to get a bitch the jab for parvo every year as she may pass it on to pups. Adult dogs may be carriers but not affected by parve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I think it's personal preference. I know a few lads who never have and there dogs have been fine. But for a £8 jab is it worth the risk? £8 bit dearer than that is it not? At the vets? Of course it is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Booster every 3 years. Unless working rats regular then lepto jab will need done every year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Country Joe 1,411 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Im with Argos, will have to look at the small print, to see if i am covered, had the dog inoculated, but no booster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sandymere 8,263 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 All you need to know here, sections on do they work? how often to vacinate etc. (bring reading glasses) http://skeptvet.com/Blog/2009/06/veterinary-vaccines-fact-and-fiction/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moonlighter 1,164 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I always have mine done. I lost a dog to a rat bite that didn't have his booster done. For the sake of £30 i won't risk that ever again. I probally loose more than £30 in loose change on a night out! Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sirius 1,391 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I have never been keen on it, I get initial jabs done and possibly lepto if needed. It's one of those debates which is down to personal opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
