In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Not all dogs are good candidates for home vaccination. Call or meet with your vet to determine if your dog meets the basic health criteria. If you are concerned about how to give the shots, your vet can also talk you through the process or even let you watch a demonstration in-office. Vets technically lose money by having you home vaccinate. However, most are more than happy to help you learn if it is in the best interest of your puppy. You'll also want to check the laws for your area regarding animal vaccinations. Some locations do not recognize self-administered rabies vaccinations and may even issue fines. Veterinarians generally recognize certain vaccinations as central or "core" to your puppy's health, such as rabies and parvovirus. Other vaccinations can be helpful for puppies in certain environments. Leptospirosis, coronavirus, bordetella, and borrelia burgdorferi are all optional vaccines. For example, if you live in a wooded area where your puppy may be exposed to ticks, then a borrelia vaccine is a good idea as it reduces the risk of Lyme Disease. It's a good idea to consult your local veterinarian if you're not sure which non-core vaccinations are right for your dog. They'll be able to give you an idea of what shots are necessary and which shots you can skip out on. These packets contain all of the vaccination materials from needles to vials for the full series of puppy shots. Feed store owners, specialty pet stores, and online pet outlets may carry the shot packets. Only get your vaccines from reputable retailers or they could be worthless or even cause harm to your puppy. Expect to pay somewhere between $75-100 for a full series of puppy vaccinations. Before you buy a vaccination pack, ask the vendor how they store the packs before they're purchased. Avoid buying packs that have been stored in excessive heat or cold or the vaccinations might not be as effective. As soon as you get the vaccines, place them in the drawer of your refrigerator. If you buy online, the company should also ship your shots in a cold container. Some companies will even require that you pay extra for overnight shipping. If the shots drop below a certain temperature, they may become less effective. To reduce the total number of shots for puppies, between 3 to 5 viruses are usually combined into a single dosage. Your puppy should receive this first major shot fairly early on, so that there is enough time for boosters before they mature. A standard first-round combination vaccine may container parvovirus, parainfluenza, adenovirus, and distemper. If your puppy has been exposed to some of these illnesses early in life, your vet may recommend that you vaccinate as soon as possible. The vaccination packet that your purchase will provide instructions regarding the frequency of each shot and what they each contain. Distemper, for example, requires an initial shot and a series of boosters thereafter. Not giving the boosters or delaying them reduces or eliminates any protections for your puppy. The manufacturer of the shots will provide specific dosage instructions on or in the vaccination package. Read these instructions carefully and do not alter them to fit your puppy's age, weight, or breed. Large puppies should get the same dose of vaccine as small ones and vice versa.
Summary: Talk with your veterinarian. Decide which non-core vaccinations to give. Purchase a puppy vaccination pack. Keep the shots cold. Give the first combination vaccine between 6 to 12 weeks of age. Give boosters every 3 weeks until 16 weeks of age. Do not alter the injection amounts.

You can buy sunflower seeds from your local nursery or garden center, or you can order them online. If you want rarer varieties, you may have better luck online. Dwarf varieties are best-suited for container growing. Sunflower seeds are also sold in grocery and convenience stores, but these are for eating, not for growing. After being roasted, a sunflower seed won't sprout. If you already have a fully grown sunflower plant, put the seeds from the flower in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge. Try to plant the seeds as soon as possible. Older seeds may be harder to grow. A packet of sunflower seeds (or a listing on a website) will clearly state the name of the variety, the type of sunflower it is, and how tall the sunflower will grow. If you're shopping at a local nursery or garden center, you can also ask an associate for help. Single-stem sunflowers only grow one flower from one seed. If you want to keep sunflowers all summer, you'll have to replant every 10 to 14 days. However, single-stem varieties are pollen-less, so they won't drop pollen on your porch, furniture, or clothes. Branching sunflowers produce many flowers over the course of the season without having to be replanted. Branching sunflowers also have some of the more unusual colors, including burgundy and chocolate. Choose the size of your container based on the height of the flower you want to plant, as well as how many flowers you want in each container. Generally, most dwarf sunflowers can be planted in a 12 to 16in (30 to 41cm) pot. Mammoth sunflowers need a container that holds at least 5 gallons (19L). If you're repurposing a container that was previously used for something else, make sure it's clean and sterile. You may also have to make drainage holes in a repurposed container. Without them, your seeds may rot. Include a plate or saucer under the container to catch run-off water.
