When should my 4-month-old Morkie puppy get rabies & flu shots?

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Dallas is very cute. So the breeder may be right. If Dallas already had a rabies shot, the next rabies is due a year from that date. They should be able to provide you with that information. If he hasn't had a rabies shot then I would advise seeing your vet for the required and recommended vaccines. Each state is a little different with regards to rabies laws and vaccinations. So follow the advice of your local vet. Rabies shots can be given as early as 12 weeks of age. Again, your local vet knows the laws in your state. Good luck

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.

Hello, Oso should be vaccinated with a Distemper, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Hepatitis, and coronavirus. Additionally, he should also be vaccinated for rabies and bordetella. He will need 3 booster shots of the first combo vaccine, a booster of his bordetella, and repeat booster of all of these when he is 1 year of age. Hope this helps and best of luck.

No, Princess should not be dangerous to anyone if she bites or licks them - it's very normal for puppies to do this :) Rabies is extremely rare in pet dogs, and would be virtually unheard-of in a puppy this age - it can only be transmitted through the bite of an infected wild animal, so it's unlikely that she would have had any possibility of exposure at the age of two months. Dogs can get their rabies vaccine anytime after 12 weeks of age. So she isn't quite old enough yet, but your veterinarian can vaccinate her in another month or so. I do not recommend giving 5 in 1 vaccines on your own, because in my experience, vaccines purchased over the counter and given by owners are often not effective. It's much better to have your veterinarian give the vaccine, to make sure it's guaranteed to work.

I recommend double checking with your primary vet since they know more about her specific history, but I would wait until she is symptom free and back to her normal self for a week before vaccinating. Hope this helps!

The Canine Flu vaccine is initially two vaccines given 3-4 weeks apaRt. After that, it is a yearly vaccine. If your dog has increased risk of exposure, she should be vaccinated. Dogs with increased risk are dogs that board frequently, go to daycare or dog parks regularly or get groomed regularly.

Hello and congratulations on adding Lilly to your family! Your core vaccines at this age need to be Distemper/Parvo and a Bordetella. She is older enough to start Leptospirosis and Lyme disease if these are indicated based upon where you live. Ask the vet if she would recommend these vaccines. Lilly will need another set of boosters in 3 weeks and she will be old enough to get her Rabies vaccine at that age. You may also discussed separating some of these vaccines so Lilly is not receiving 4-5 at one time. Hope this helps!
