Big Question: Can I Give My Puppy His 1st Puppy Vaccine Shots?

Hello There Responsible Pet Parent,

Just the other day, I received this message:

“Hi Doc Sixto, Can I give my pet his 1st puppy vaccine shots?  I just bought my puppy, well, it’s actually our puppy, me and my GF.

I bought our puppy from a breeder online and one of his tips is to have the 1st puppy vaccine shots done by me “para makatipid kayo ng malaki.”

Sabi pa nya, “You can give the vaccines yourself, as long as you never plan to show, or export the dog.”

Should I listen to his advice?”

Must You Really Give Your Puppy His 1st Puppy Vaccine Shots?

First, vaccines are only sold to Licensed or Registered Vets.  If you got your supply from shady sources “dahil mas mura”, know that you may be endangering the life of your pet.

Second, Licensed Vets have the knowledge about the dosage and schedule of puppy vaccine shots.  

Third, Licensed Vets are required to sign the vaccination book of your pet.  If you plan to travel with your pet, authorities here and abroad will only recognize vaccination books signed by registered Vets.

If you are asking the same question like Mon above, here are the 2 questions you should ask yourself:

  • Will you entrust the life of your only child to a person you just met on the street?
  • When it comes to the life of your only child, would you seek a Licensed Medical Doctor or sales agent?

Don’t get me wrong.  I don’t have anything against sales agents!  I love them, for they alert me about products or services that will help us enjoy peace of mind!

Enough about me, let’s talk about YOU as the pet owner.

If you are asking the same question:  Can I Give My Puppy His 1st Puppy Vaccine Shots?

Well, I only serve responsible pet owners.  

I only want to serve responsible pet owners, who truly care about the health of their pet dogs and cats.

Okay lang kung matipid ka sa ibang bagay.  You can count on me if you envision having long lasting relationship with your 1st puppy.

If that is your vision, you should consider pet vaccination as one of the strong pillars to having happy and healthy pets.  

It is a MUST that you partner with Licensed or Registered Vet when it comes to pet vaccination.

Now, have I convinced you to partner up with your Vet with regards to your puppy’s vaccination?

If Yes, good for you and your puppy!

If No, then you can stop following me in the cyberworld.  No hard feelings, promise!

 

Enjoy peace of mind,
