• Puppies should receive their first vaccinations between 6 and 8 weeks of age.The vaccine given at this time is a combination of distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus (CDV + CPV-2 + CAV-2).

• Following the first vaccination, puppies require booster vaccines every 3 to 4 weeks, with the final dose at 4 months of age. A minimum of 3 vaccines during puppyhood is highly recommended to protect your puppy from potentially deadly diseases.

• Rabies vaccine can be given starting at 12 weeks of age, and then repeated in 1 year. Following the first year, a 3 year vaccine is available for dogs that are current on all vaccinations.

• Kittens should receive their 1st combination vaccine at 6 weeks of age. This vaccine includes protection for panleukopenia, herpes virus-1, and calicivirus (FPV, FHV-1, FCV).
• After the initial vaccine, a combination booster should be given every 3 to 4 weeks until 4 months of age. The combination vaccine should then be given 1 year after the initial kitten vaccines, and every 3 years thereafter provided the cat is low risk.
• Feline leukemia (FeLV) vaccines can only be given following a negative result on a FeLV test. It is recommended that kittens as young as 8 weeks receive 2 doses, 3 to 4 weeks apart. A booster should be done after 1 year from the initial vaccines, and following that, it can be given every 2 years for low-risk cats.
• Rabies vaccine can be given starting at 12 weeks of age, with a booster after 1 year, and then per state guidelines, it can be given annually or every 3 years with a 3-year vaccine.

Kitten vaccine guidelines are based on the 2013 AAFP Feline Vaccine Guidelines

Late Spring / Early Fall

• Rhino flu
• East & West Encephalitis
• Tetanus
• West Nile (April/May to provide best immunity

Fall

• Booster Rhino flu
• Deworm (at minimum twice a year, once in spring, and again in fall/early winter, after the first freeze)

Additional Equine Care Protocols

• Check teeth annually, if needed float teeth
• Check sheath of geldings annually or biannually
• Coggins testing every 6-12 months depending on state horses will be traveling to

Cow / Calf Herd Vaccine Protocol:

We recommend vaccinating cows in the Fall during pregnancy testing, so that immunity will peak before the highest stress level of pregnancy to prevent loss of the pregnancy.

• Trichomoniasis vaccines to be given just before breeding season

Cows & Bulls (Fall Schedule):

• Long acting viral vaccine of IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) + BVD (bovine viral diarrhea) + PI3 (parainfluenza-3 virus) + BRSV (bovine respiratory syncytial virus).
• Long-acting campylobacter fetus (vibrio) / leptospirosis (lepto) vaccine
• Dewormer
• 7-way clostridial booster (optional)
• Other vaccines as needed depending on location

Replacement Heifers (Pre-breeding):

• Modified-live IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV to be given initially at 2-3 months with a booster around weaning
• Vibrio + 5-way leptospirosis given initially at 2-3 months with a booster around weaning
• Dewormer
• 7-way clostridial booster (optional)
• Brucellosis (optional), must be performed by a veterinarian prior to 1 year of age
• Other vaccines as needed for a location

Bulls:

• should be vaccinated with cows on the same vaccination program.
• Trichomoniasis vaccine is not effective in bulls

*In the Fall, bred replacement heifers should be vaccinated using the same protocol as mature cows

Calf Vaccination Guidelines:

These are the most effective guidelines for the development of immunity, and is specifically formulated for calves that will remain on the ranch 45 days post-weaning

2-3-month-old calves:

• Clostridial 7 or 8-way vaccine
• Parenteral MLV (IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV) intranasal MLV with or without mannheimia (Pasteurella)

Weaning calves:

• It is recommended to let the calves sit overnight before processing to enable a better immune response
• Booster MLV (IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV)
• Mannheimia (Pasteurella)

Post-Weaning (3-4 weeks):

• Booster MLV (IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV)
• Clostridial 7-way (with or without )
• Mannheimia (pasteurella) optional

*Cattle Vaccination Schedule is per regulations adapted from New Mexico Extension
