I never give any vaccine with the rabies vaccine and I want at least 2 weeks, preferably 3 weeks in between to allow their immune system to recover from the first one. I always wait until they are 6 months to give the rabies, but also keep them in my home and in my yard.

On another note, 13 weeks sounds too young to be stopping shots. Most vets want for the last combo vaccine (insist on NO LEPTO) to be given no earlier than 16 weeks, some even say 20 weeks. At 13 weeks, about 25% of the pups are still not able to form the immunity so they won't even be protected when stopped at 13 weeks. I prefer to wait until 8 weeks and repeat at 12 and 16 weeks.
