The vaccination program you will need is entirely dependent on your environment. You will need to consult a local vet. I am fortunate to have a ranch with a lot of hard coarse ground. I never have to trim nails and there are no ground parasites. Yipee! But I have other challenges. My vaccination program is an annual 8 way shot, annual rabies shot, intermittent anti abscess shot and West Nile Virus for newborns and animals from areas not affected by West Nile. Ivomec is the common drug for internal parasites. How much and how often vary with your locale.
