Vaccinating puppies at 6 weeks for the distemper-parvo combination is completely pointless & does absolutely nothing.

Vaccinating closer together than two weeks apart is pointless & won’t stimulate immunity.

Any breeder or vet who says otherwise to these two facts is 100% wrong & you'd want to ask them where they are getting their info from & where they went to school to study the highly complicated subject of immunology, especially when it contradicts vaccine science & specialists.

Now the longer version….

A healthy, vaccinated mother will pass her immunity to her puppies through her colostrum, the first milk. These passed-on antibodies stay in a puppies system for 14 to 26 weeks. The maternal antibodies will completely overwhelm any vaccine, therefore, the vaccine will simply have no effect. We have no easy way to tell when the maternal antibodies are out of the puppy’s body, but we know it starts as young as 14 weeks.

This varies for a number of reasons, but maternal antibodies protect their puppies, the vaccines don't. Not when given at 6 or 8 weeks old. So, giving a vaccine prior to that is worthless & shows a lack of proper understanding of immune stimulation.

The vaccines also stimulate cell-based humoral immunity. In order for proper stimulation of humoral immunity, the vaccine must be given a minimum of 14 days apart. Giving the vaccines more closely together will simply not stimulate immunity properly.

These absolute facts are why distemper-parvo vaccines are given starting at 12-16 weeks old by holistic vets, & then boostered in appropriate time itervals. We are trying to stimulate antibodies as the mother’s are reducing in the puppy, & trying to booster humoral immunity at proper intervals.

Unfortunately, there are many, many breeders & vets who un/knowingly give vaccines very improperly, such as starting at 4-6 weeks old, giving parvo vaccines weekly, & similar nonsensical practices. These practices are well ingrained in breeder communities, in traditional vets, & therefore into the main stream of dog pawrents who don't know any better than to trust the people they think should know this stuff. But, lack of education or lack of desire to implement what they should know is simply a failure of the system & the denying of biological facts.

Thank you for understanding that this new policy is to protect & make your puppies healthier. That their well-being is my first, top & only priority. & going forward we can only stand behind that statement by changing our vaccine policy to reflect what I know science demands of me to do.
