- (for KARMA'S & SHADOW'S LITTERS ONLY) a distemper & parvo booster vaccination at 13 weeks age;

Some puppies will have completed their puppy vaccine series by the time they are ready to go; others will require a booster. We recommend for all puppies a nomograph follow-up titer at least 2 weeks after last puppy-series vaccination, or a regular titer at least 4 weeks after last vaccination, to ensure the puppy has been successfully immunized.)

(We recommend a booster vaccine at this age unless titer results for distemper and adenovirus and parvo are all not just adequate but high. Due to immaturity of the immune system, many puppies do not achieve longterm immunity from vaccines given prior to 1 year age.)
