Very young puppies and kittens are highly susceptible to infectious diseases because their immune systems are not fully mature. While nursing, their mother’s milk contains antibodies (special proteins) that provide some immunity to diseases; however, these maternal antibodies do not last long, and there may be gaps in protection as the milk antibodies decrease and the puppies’ or kittens’ immune system isn’t yet capable of fighting off infection.
In many instances, the first dose of a vaccine serves to prime the pet’s immune system against the virus or bacteria while subsequent doses help to further stimulate the immune system to produce the antibodies needed to protect a pet from specific diseases. To keep these gaps in protection as small as possible and to provide optimal protection against disease in the first few months of life, a series of vaccinations are scheduled, usually 3-4 weeks apart.
For most puppies and kittens, the final vaccination in the series is administered at about 4 months of age; however, in some situations, a veterinarian may alter this schedule based on an individual animal’s risk factors. Remember that an incomplete series of vaccinations may lead to incomplete protection, making puppies and kittens vulnerable to infection.

In some cases, the videos can even make their four-legged friends famous. For example, ALPO brand dog food is searching for the biggest “meat maniac” in America – the lovable, everyday dog who has the most entertaining, humorous and memorable way of showing his excitement when dinner is served. The winning dog will be the new face of ALPO, appearing on millions of cans of dog food and in national print advertising. Dog owners nationwide can visit AlpoRealMeatMoments.com to submit a video of their pooch’s meat maniac moment.
Make sure Rover is comfortable on “set.” Before you press the record button, give your furry companion the chance to become familiar with the video equipment, so he doesn’t run away. Let him sniff the camera and reward him with a treat for good behavior.
Give Fido creative license. Allow your dog to act natural. Capture his unscripted, real, spontaneous behavior when dinner is being served, rather than a trained trick. Allow him to showcase his transformation from everyday dog to meat maniac in his own unique way. Include audio. Think beyond images. Don’t forget to capture the sounds that will help tell your meat maniac’s story, including any barking, howling, grunting and whining in anticipation of the meaty meal.
Turn your spotlight on the star. Lights add depth to any scene. Turn on all of the lights in the room and open the curtains to increase available light, particularly if your dog has a dark coat.
Use a hand held technique. Take the camera off of the tripod and move with your dog to best capture his humorous mealtime moves. Look for unusual angles, such as ground-level shots to add interest. source: www.cass-news.com
