When should my dog get her booster shots after turning one year old?

Assuming he finished his vaccine series, he will be due 1 year from the last vaccine boosters. You may need to look at your records or call your vet. Additionally, depending on where you live and the concern for heartworms, Jack may need a heartworm test between 9-12 months of age and to start prevention. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

No, Royal does not need to start his vaccines from the beginning. Because he got his second round when he was four months old, his immune system was developed enough and he will have low maternal antibodies that will enable protect. Dogs do need a booster shot one year after the first, and Royal should therefore get another booster of the vaccines by the time he is 16 months old.

Hi there! Some dog owners do opt to vaccinate on a more extended schedule, since there is evidence that the vaccines for distemper, parvo, etc. probably provide immunity for several years in most dogs after the initial series is finished. However, Tia may need vaccinations for other illnesses such as Bordetella (kennel cough), leptospirosis, etc. which do need to be given yearly. And of course, she needs a yearly wellness exam regardless to check for any problems :) I would recommend discussing this topic with your veterinarian to see what he/she suggests for Tia given her age and overall health status. You could also opt to have vaccine titers done to see if she has a protective level of antibody present, and make your decision based on that.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Blueberry. Most veterinarians will vaccinate early if it closer to the due dates as long as the patient is healthy. So if she has fully recovered from her spay, it should be fine to vaccinate her at that time. I hope this information helps!

I suspect the answer is yes. Vaccine protocols do vary based upon vaccine type, prevalence of disease in the area and previous history. I recommend to discuss your concerns with the doctor. They will explain the logic behind the decision. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

If your dog had rabies vaccinations as a puppy, then a booster one year later, then he would only need a rabies booster every three years, If you remember where he got his last rabies vaccination, you could call them and ask when his next booster is due.

Hi there. In general, it's recommended to give the second booster in 3-4 weeks because this is the optimal window of time for the immune system to respond appropriately. You can't wait too long, or the initial response will have completely died down and the booster won't be effective. It's generally okay to wait up to 6 weeks to give the booster if needed, but I wouldn't recommend waiting longer than that. Waiting until April 27th would likely be pushing it a bit, so I would try to get her in within the 6 week window if possible.
