Best to get it done. It's not very costly (jabs + consultation) usually is around less than RM100. Probably around the RM50-70 range, depending on which one you choose. 7-in-1 is of course more expensive than 6-in-1, but something like RM10-15 more. Not very costly. So you may want to give him/her 7-in-1. Ask your vet to recommend. Look at this way. If you don't give him/her the jabs and later he/she develops (**touchwood**) distemper, and undetected until later stages, chances of survival from that is almost next to none. After the 3 jabs, it's an annual booster. For immunity against heartworms, something like 'Heartgard' (chewy-type, from RM58 onwards for a pack of six, depending on dog size) or 'Interceptor' (price unknown, tablet-type), it's a once-a-month affair. Don't worry, it's not an injection, either Heartgard or Interceptor, you can feed it to the dog yourself. For immunity against other worms, something like all wormers (tablet, chewy, etc), you can give it to the dog ranging from 1 per three months, 1/quarter, 1/half-year depending how much socialisation does your dog have. Again this depends on the brand and type of the all wormers, consult your vet for full details on all of these. These notes (above) serve as a guide for you to find out more. Search on the Internet and this forum, there are plenty of advice around. Best person to consult is still YOUR VET. __________________________________________________________________ Pet? What pet?
