I think puppy shots and one year boosters are non negotiable after that is when you have the big decision to make. Except for the add on yearly ones like Lepto, Bordatella, and Lyme. I got DAP every three years until she has reached 7 and I have decided to no longer get that because I feel she is protected. Obviously you have to follow your laws on rabies. I also get Bordatella because she goes to get groomed and goes to lots of dog events and dog places and kennel cough can lead to some very serious problems. I also give Lepto because it is an issue in my area. Bordatella and Lepto are yearly. I used to give Lyme when I was in a high tick area but Callie only had one tick a year sense moving so we no longer do that one. DAP is good for 3 years at the minimum but I believe they are saying it only needs to be done every five years now. A lot of people will say to get titters done but all the research I have done on them say they are not reliable.
