DR. JEAN DODDS' MINIMAL VACCINE USE CANINE VACCINATION PROTOCOL – 2011  
(Verified)

Note: The following vaccine protocol is offered for those dogs where minimal vaccinations are
advisable or desirable.  The schedule is one I recommend and should not interpreted to mean that
other protocols recommended by a veterinarian would be less satisfactory.  It's a matter of
professional judgment and choice.

Perform vaccine antibody titers for distemper and parvovirus every three years thereafter, or more
often, if desired. Vaccinate for rabies virus according to the law, except where circumstances indicate
that a written waiver needs to be obtained from the primary care veterinarian.  In that case, a rabies
antibody titer can also be performed to accompany the waiver request.  
See
www.rabieschallengefund.org.

NOTE:  I called and spoke to Dr. Dodds, and during that time also received her permission to place
this information on our website.

She explained that in an ideal, minimal vaccination schedule, one would vaccinate with the Distemper
+ Parvovirus (MLV) once between 9-10 weeks and then again at 14 weeks of age.  This would be
followed by a Rabies vaccination between 20-24 weeks.  Followed by one final Distemper +
Parvovirus booster after 1 year.  An additional Rabies booster, 3-4 weeks later.  Annual vaccinations
are not needed.

NOTE:  I have received numerous questions regarding the above outline.  The "optional"
vaccinations seem to be confusing, so to clarify, "why the 'optional' phrase?"  If the puppy has
received vaccinations on a different schedule (younger than 9-10 weeks), the schedule would be off
and the puppy might require a later shot at 16-18 weeks.

"Everything has been
amazing! She has yet to
have an accident, slept
through the night, has
been eating up all her
food and is fitting in
perfectly with our
family. She is such a
lover and we are
enjoying every moment

Thanks for raising such
a great dog! She will be
