Unsure about my adopted dog's past vaccines. Can I get them redone?

If you can find out where Candle was adopted from, you could contact the shelter and they should have records of when Candle was vaccinated. Otherwise I suggest you take her to your vet and discuss this with him. He may be able to find out also, or will recommend a vaccination schedule that will fit with Candles condition and age.

I would recommend getting his vaccinations redone if there is no proof. It will not harm him and this will ensure he is fully protected. It is just too risky to assume he is protected with no proof. He will need the DHLPP and Bordetella. He will then need 1 booster done in 3 weeks and that will fully protect him for a year. I hope that your newly adopted pet Tanner does well moving forward. Take care!

No - it will not hurt her and I would definitely recommend getting her vaccinated! There are many dogs in shelters who get their vaccines as adults. Some core vaccines like the DAP combo might require a booster while others like rabies don’t.

I would be suspicious that if the person you adopted Lucy from didn't give you those other vaccine records that she has not had them. They should have been included with her rabies record. You can ask that person for them, or for permission to speak to the vet who administered the rabies vaccines to see if she received her other vaccines. If they refuse to give you that information, it's likely she hasn't had her other vaccines, and I would take Lucy into the vet to have them done.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! When we do not have vaccine records, we start over. So Mickie needs a Rabies and two DHPP vaccines 3-4 weeks apart. The rabies and the DHPP final will be good for 1 year. I wish you the best

You will need to start the vaccine protocol over again depending on how long ago Lucky was first vaccinated. She will need a rabies vaccine at 12 weeks of age, microchipping, deworming treatment, flea treatment, and heart worm treatment. Make her an appointment with a vet.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In this case with no known history, it's better to be safe and protect her. Your veterinarian can discuss what vaccines are indicated in your area. They can also advise you on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Good luck with Chloe
