Should my puppy get DHLPP and rabies vaccines together or separate?

Question

Kronos is to receive the third shot of the DHLPP (Attenuated/Modified Live) vaccination. The vet doctor is strongly suggesting giving the anti-rabbies vaccination together with the DHLPP shot. I believe this could overwhelm the immune system. Considering Kronos's age and the adjuvants and activators used in both vaccines, is it recommended to give the DHLPP together with the anti-rabbies vaccine or wait some weeks before giving the anti-rabbies shot?

You can do either. Many pets are given all those vaccines at once and they do fine but you are correct that this does increase the likelihood of a vaccine reaction. If you want to be cautious, then separating the vaccines by a week is a good idea. It's never hurts to be cautious. I hope this helps.
