Should my dog get Bordetella and rabies vaccines at one vet visit?

Most vaccines can be given in a series on the same day as long as they are given in different injection sites, and your dog doesn't have a history of adverse reactions to vaccines. However, your vet will know your pet best and it's best to contact them with regards to any vaccine protocols they use, as they will have the most up to date information on the vaccine type and manufacturer they are using in their clinic that may counter indicate giving it on the same day. The only other thing I could think would be a potential liability issue if the injection is given the same time as a home-given injection and then an adverse reaction occurred, as it would be hard to determine what injection caused the reaction if not properly documented. If you have documentation of the vaccines you've given at home, I would make sure these are all up to date with your veterinarian to ensure there isn't any miscommunication going on.

Great questions! Yes, I would get Ivy her kennel cough vaccine. It's best to wait two weeks between different vaccines, so I would get the DA2PPV now and rabies in another two weeks. I would start with the lepto now. Best of luck.

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.

It is OK for him to receive both vaccinations at the same time as long as he has had no previous vaccine reactions. That being said, it is up to you. If you want to split them up there is no harm in doing it that way.

Bordetella vaccine can be given to puppies from 8 weeks of age. The rabies vaccine will have to be repeated at 12 to 16 weeks (depending on your state's law) as maternal antibodies will destroy it and your puppy will not develop an immunity against rabies at this age. It is unlikely that your puppy will have any detrimental effect from those vaccines given at the age of 8 weeks. Whether the bordetella vaccine needs to be given again will depend on the type and brand of the vaccine. I suggest you follow the advice of your veterinarian. Accidents like this can happen, and it is likely that the tech who filled out your initial admission made a mistake when entering the information in the computer. This does not mean your vet is a bad vet.

They are usually given on the same day without any problems. Animals that have had vaccine reactions in the past are the only ones that I recommend giving them at different times. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Sandy. That is a lot of get done all in one day. I recommends spacing them out, doing distemper/parvo, bordetalla, canine influenza one day, and then 10 days later doing lepto and rabies. Give her vet a call to make her an appointment and they can discuss how they want to space out the vaccines. I hope this helps!
