Are you wondering how often your dog should vaccinated or what type of vaccines your dog needs? Give your local vet office a call ask about vaccinations. The vet will need to know your dog’s vaccine history, the age of your dog, weight, breed, etc. There are general rules and laws that regulate vaccines requires for the area in which you live. Generally, a puppy is vaccinated at an initial vaccination appointment and is then placed on a vaccination schedule. Vaccinations can differ as your dog grows older. The basic vaccines that are often referred to as ‘core’ vaccines, which are generally required for all canines often includes canine parvovirus, distemper, canine hepatitis and rabies. Depending on your dog’s lifestyle (i.e. if he’s boarded or goes to doggie daycare) other vaccines like the Bordetella bronchiseptica vaccine may be recommended.
