Does anyone here do their own puppy/dog vaccines

I have two great Danes and a shiva inu. The ivermectin saves me a ton of money. It costs me the same amount for all 3 dogs for 2 years as it does for one great Dane sized dose of heartguard. As for getting around state laws and the rabies vax ...I just take my dogs to a rabies clinic and pay $10

The proper dosage for dogs is 1/10cc for every 10lbs. A 50lb dog would receive 1/2cc, a 100lb dog would get 1cc. A very small amount.

This may or may not be correct. It depends on the concentration of ivermectin that you buy. There are products out there with different concentrations.

Also just wanted to put this out there in case anyone wants to do this. Ivermectin products are not safe to give to collie type dogs.

I don't have dogs, but I do my cats' vaccines on my own. I buy 4-ways from a local livestock vet. They are super cheap, usually around $4 a piece.

yeah, i used to give mine all the time. I did the 7 in 1 and got it from the local feed & seed/farm supply. I also gave liquid ivermectin mixed in a little milk.

I take them in now, but only because they are really old dogs, and I like to have them checked out for other ailments.

I only ever did the Rabies on a dog. I bought it at a local feed and seed place. My vet was cheap so it didn't save me much but I didn't have a car and the feed and seed was walking distance so it worked out better for me.

We do all but the rabies on our pets. We just buy the vaccines from a feed store (or farm supply store, like Tractor Supply) because they usually have a lower price and that is where we get our chicken feed from. Anyone can walk in and buy them.

I give everything but rabies, because we need the vet certificate for dog licenses. I get the vaccines at Tractor Supply.
