Most of what is recommended is puppy shots, then puppy boosters and then disimper and parvo every 3 years until 7 and then it is said they have enough immunity. That's the core vaccines. I do some of the non core vaccines and those sadly are yearly. Like Lyme is a big issue where I live so we get that and I do bordatella because I take my dogs to a lot of dog events and lots of groomers require it. My little boy was the first dog I have ever had that had reactions so now it's Benadryl before and then pain meds for the day of and the next day. I always separate vaccines by at least 2 weeks. I haven't had kids yet so these are my kids and it can be so overwhelming sometimes to have to make big decisions about these lovely little living beings.
