Heard from some where that the annual booster jab is require only a year after the last vacination.
In this case - what if the very first booster jab for a year old puppy ? Does the booster jab take place after 1 year from the 3rd or 4th vacinations for each puppy ? (if it is 4th, means at 6 weeks of age, the puppy had a separate parvo jab before the regular 6 in 1 or 7 in 1 or 8 in one or 9 in 1 take place)
Or when the pup is 1 year of age ? A normal pup will finish their vacination when they reach the age of 4 to 5 months.

According to my dog's vaccination record, the annual booster jab is one year after her third jab. She finished her third jab when she was 6 months and received her annual booster jab when she was 18 months.
You'll have a choice between 6-in-1 or 7-in-1. In my case, I opted for the 7-in-1.

Hello May, Not sure if you are getting the smae price and same info. This is what I got from my vet. 6-in-1 cost about RM30.00 but you need to go for next jap the following week. So, ended up 6 japs. 7-in-1 cost about RM60.00 but total 3 japs. The total cost is about the same lahhh, but just the hassle to spent most of the weekend for next jap is this what you get?
y 7 in 1 ? scared of SARS ? or becoz of 7 in 1 cover Corona Virus as well , how about 8 in 1 that cover Kennel Cough.

As I understand whether you choose 6-in-1 or 7-in-1 you dog still receive one jab only. The difference is your dog gets extra protection from coronavirus if you opt for 7-in-1. The vet charge RM35 for 6-in-1 and RM50 for 7-in-1.
Luckily I opted for 7-in-1.......don't have to worry my dog will gets SARS...hehehe.

wowwwww, that's cheap!! I paid RM60 for 7-in-1, gosh!! this is what my vet told me. So, in order not to go there many times, I opt for 7-in-1 and more protection. I was told there is 10-in-1 too. But not many vet has this yet... yeah, I wonder do I need 7-in-1 to protect me from coronavirus
i just brought timmy to his 3rd jab- its 6-in 1- in old klg road vet clinic- it cost me rm 80!! how come 6-in 1 more exp than 7-in 1..etc..? is the clinic overcharged?
they asked me to brign timmy for 'heartwork test' - 3 mths later...i just wonder is it necessary? cos the petshop told me only need to take hearguard when timmy is 5 mth- 6 mth....no need go for such test..
excuse me, can anyone tell me what re 6-in1, 7-in-1, 8-in1? My vet had never told me about these. I just brought the dog in, then they'll give him injection. Never ask me which jab.
i still remember when he was a pup..took the 3 job there..total almost bout 300...
so much more expensive compared to outside....
so to all the shifus out there....would u recommend me to any vets with offer a good service and offer charges that are reasonable? im staying at old klang road...preferably somewhere near my house...and open on sunday or saturday till late evening? coz my doggie will be having his first annual jab this coming june
hi lilk...i have no idea which vet is better in old klg road- i know the one we both went is very expensixe..but the vet is not bad...maybe u can ask round in pj area( but its exp too)...
I just took Sparkle for his third vaccination...got the 7-in-1. Costs me in total RM70 for deworming & vaccination. And out of it RM10 was for consultation. So means the 7-in-1 and deworming costs only RM60 altogether.
My vet told me that if the dog is an indoor dog, you have to start the dog on some heartworm prevention tablets before the dog turns 6 months old. After that the tablets don't really work already. And you can only test for heartworm and if need be, go for treatments. Prevention is b4 6 months, after that it's all treatments already if our dogs kena heartworm.
hi michelle, thansk for ur info. my vet just told me to brg timmy for heartworn test when he is 6 mths- no need give him any heartguard now till the test. but i got info fr the petshop that we should give heartguard by 5 mths, no need go for heartworm test...
kind of confuse, any of u all go for heartworm test? or not?
I guess I'll stick to what my vet advised and bring him in again at 5 months+. Take the tablets and next year when I take Sparkle for his annual jab then only I let him take the heartwork test plus the blood test (as recommended by Gina) to test for everything else.
actually i am also not so sure bout the 6 in one and 7 in one.
i read up on it and this is what i understand about the 6 in one
DHLPP-CVK
D - distemper (i think we all know that)
H - hepatitis
L - leptospirosis (an infection of the kidneys after drinking infected urine of animals (mostly wild))
P - parvovirus (infection of the gut causing dysentery)
P - parainfluenze (can cause kennel cough, but other organisms like bordatella can also cause kennel cough)
CVK component normally refers to coronavirus which is related to the flu/common cold virus
some combination/praparations also contain the A component for adenovirus
these combination preparations will definitely not contain rabies vaccine or killed bordatella vaccine (nasal spray) which will be given seperately, on a different date. zippy 'rowena' kojak
Just wanna share wt u all abt this latest vacinnation guidelines from AAHA (American Animal Hospital Association) Canine Vacine Task Force recomendation : could be somehow long but interesting reading - do checkk out site ! www.dogs4sale.com.au/AAHA_Special_Report.htm
it seems they r recomendating for a longer interval between the annual booster jab to cut down on vaccinosis reaction such as thyroid problems, epilepsy, & allergies just to mention a few.

this vet charges a bit pricey for his jabs...i remember once when my dog developed some spots on his body n before asking he just gave my dog a jab. i believe that he's not one of the recommended vet around...he's vet is around tanjung bungah.
where is the location of the vet who charges u only $65 for 7 in 1? i know Dr Yeoh charges 25 for 6 in 1 but have no idea who charges $65 for 7 in 1?
