| No they are supposed to get the Parvo shot more than just once in their lifetime. If I'm not mistaken, they get it once a year. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about that. But I am CERTAIN they get it more than once, just not sure how often. This is something you DEFINATELY need to get! One of our members just lost her little girl to Parvo unexpectedly. I would hate for this to happen to someone else. |

| yep, we started our 2 year shots last week. Parvo was on the top of the list! Maybe you were thinking Rabies. First one is good for 1 year, 2nd one is good for 3 years. I think everything else is every year.

| thank you I just wanted to say thanks to all who have helped me with my dilemma. They are okay on the rabies for the next three years. I had read some threads about vets giving dogs unneccessary repeat shots and just wanted to make sure. i love my vet he is very sweet. one time my next door neighbor's lab attacked my chi (sweet pea was in their driveway and they were pushing their newest grandbaby in a stroller and i think roxy was protecting the baby when my chi went to lick her foot) and we weren't able to pay dr. bobby for over a month but he could tell how much i love my animals and let the bill slide until we could pay.

| It sounds like this is their first booster and they are just under 1 1/2 years? If so, I would give mine the parvo, distemper, etc. combo shot (without Lepto). After this first booster shot, many feel the dog has lifelong immunity and you can have a blood test (titer test) to determine if your dog has sufficient antibodies, but the test is more than the vaccine. |
