How Often do you vaccinate your adults?

How often does everyone vaccinate your adults dogs-and what do you vaccinate for? Another topic got me interested to see who else does or doesnt vaccinate on a regular basis. What about your pups- when do you begin vaccinating your puppies for Parvo and other crucial vaccines?

I'll start with mine- DHLPP C annually on all adults.
Pups begin DHLPPC(using Fort Dodge-Puppyshot booster) at 6 weeks continuing until 4-5months of age,which is what my vet. follows.

Pups-1st vaccination at 6 weeks, high titer Progard 5. Again at 3 weeks then 2 more times. Lepto 4 strain separate vaccine after 4 months twice, 1 month apart. Rabies separately after 4 months. Booster at 1 year and then every 3 years. Progard 5 every 3 years unless if they go down south. Lepto yearly since we are in a bad area. Training dogs get kennel cough, Giardia (trainer asked for it to be given), and Prolyme by Merial (never gave Lymevax). I separate my vaccinations. I would not give a 7 way plus rabies at the same time. I avoid vaccinating seniors (>12) as much as possible. Ivermectin worming dose for heartworms and for regular worming monthly, now year round. Frontline only for training dogs and just in the last couple of years as the ticks seem worse. I use a herbal spray I concoct for the rest.

Herbal spray I make up from my secret formula of essential oils. :wink:

I think that people make their vaccination choices depending on their own individual risk which is dependent on exposure. Certainly if you have just one dog that has a low risk you are going to handle things differently than if you board, care for or train dogs for others, compete, or travel to areas that have problems like Lepto. People operate a boarding kennel or work at one or a Vet clinic are going to have their facilities exposed to everything that comes in and dogs that have limited exposure coming into that environment better have good immune systems or vaccinations. Their own private pets will probably have pretty good immunity from constant natural exposure. I wonder though about those that do not believe in vaccinations or boosters what's going to happen when all those underexposed, undervaccinated, or unboostered dogs are exposed to a contageous pathogen at a show where there are many others doing the same. It will probably be someone else's fault for bringing that dog, even though those people probably were not aware their dog was incubating something.
