Ok so i know its good to get a dhlpp for you puppy at one year.
Osiris will be 1 in a few days:]
My vet told me to come and get the booster shot when he turned one , so i call them today and they tell me a different story and said that he can wait and get it when he gets his second rabies shot in October. He will be a year and a half then so that does not make sense to me.
Doing research i have read that your give them a booster when they first turn a year old that wait three years for each next one?
How does this work is it every year or is it every three after the first?
Also is it really necessary to give Osiris a rabies shot once a year?
Im confused the Breeder the sold me Osiris stated that he would only need one booster shot and then i am done but thats not what the vets are telling me.

I am concerned and i dont want to give him two more shots a year if its going to hurt him, im heard stories that its not needed, but the vets tell me that it is
please help.
