DHPP as a pup, then a year after, then every 3 years (if at all after year one).
Lepto (only in the dog that hasn't almost died from this vaccine and only bc it is a major problem in Michigan). Rabies per the law.

The thing about moncore vaccines is that they have to be given annuallu, besides the fact that some are altogether unnecessary.

You absolutely do NOT need to give giardia or corona.
Lyme/lepto/bordetella are based on area and lifestyle. For me personally I'd never be giving all three. Pick the one(s) that are most necessary.

My dogs do not have cardiopulmonary issues. They do not get bordetella. We don't board and, as long as an owner is payingattention, pneumonia secondary to kennel cough is not common.

I don't like the lyme vaccine and it is usually unnecessary. Is your closest vet school giving it? Same goes for lepto although I think it has its place. It is not necessary in most areas and the vaccine does cause reactions...quite a bit.
