first shoots

Question
I have a Black Lab 5 mounts can he have shots?

Answer
Yes, normally the breeder gives the first shots at 6 weeks and the dog owner follows up with more.  Since he hasn't gotten sick, no harm done.  Get his shots now, and in 2 weeks he should be safe from most common diseases in a couple of weeks.  Unless the law in yur state requires it sooner, it might be better to leave the rabies shot go another month.
