I always wait until 6-8 months old...they give the very same shot to that tiny baby that they give a great dane.....I wait as long as I possibly can wait to have that shot given on those tiny babies....and pre medicate with Benadryl about 15 minutes before the shot and then hang around the vet for another 20-30 minutes just to be sure baby is going to tolerate the rabies vaccine.
