I just read before it should be given at 4 months.

What's the connection of the rabies vaccine to the puppy's teeth which makes her ready for the shot?

What harm can possible happen to my baby?
All dogs have a VERY SLIGHT risk of death after the rabies vaccine.
It isn't something you can get around because it is required by law.
Most dogs do fine though.
Then there are long-term side effects from vaccines which could possibly include autoimmune disease, cancer, allergies, thyroid issues, liver issues...

Some states require it be given at four months and not all vets will sign a waiver because they think it is fine. Just give it as late as possible.
