New Member with Border Terrier (Surrey)

Am new and would like to say "hello". Have a beautiful little Border Terrier who is due for his second booster. Last year, at one year old, he had his first booster. It almost killed him. We are very worried about a second booster, while understanding the benefits of vaccination.

Have heard of vets changing from "Nobivac" (Intervet) to Duramune (Pfizer). Does anyone have any advice?

Also, why do little dogs get the same dose as very large dogs? Is this right?

I would not have the booster. My vet says most of the injections last about 3 years anyway. If you are really worried about illness look into titre testing.
