Vaccines

The Rottweiler often has a sensitive immune system that does not always respond as expected. Progard vaccines, made by Intervet (1-800-835-0541) were developed and tested on Rottweilers and provide the most reliable immune response to vaccinations. Additionally the prominant Veterinary colleges are now advocating fewer vaccinations than previously.See Colorado State College of Veterinary Medicine's protocol and for a Holistic viewpoint see Shirleys Wellness Cafe. It is preferable to not give the rabies vaccines within 3-4 weeks of distemper or parvovirus vaccines. Breeding bitches should NEVER receive any boosters closer than 6 months prior to being bred. We Do NOT reccommend having dogs vaccinated against Lyme disease. (The vaccine is not very effective and actally causes as many problems as the disease itself. See my Links page for interesting Lymes disease reading) or Leptospirosis (the strains currently in most vaccines are NOT the strains causing illness in dogs today. Additionally Lepto vaccines have a very limited immune response time and are responsible for many vaccine reactions)

Frontier's Vaccine Schedule



Boosters (or blood titer levels tested) thereafter every three years; and we do not vaccinate dogs over 7 years old for anything other than Rabies
