The rabies shot is given at six months for small dogs, and then once again at one year. After that, the same vaccine is given in three year intervals. I know I have said this on like, three different threads, but yearly vaccines are NOT necessary, and actually more harm than good. And this is coming from a veterinarian. Also, like necessary said, DO NOT give Lepto unless there is a serious problem in your area, or your yorkie is eating dead deers. Giardia is also a BAD idea. Poor pup, we had a lab who had a HORRIBLE reaction to a combo shot, poor gal blew up like a blow fish. We were lucky to catch it on time.

Whenever my pup gets ANY vetwork done, I keep him with me for 24 hours straight, I can't stand the thought of something happening w/o me being there! Amazing how much you can love something so tiny....

If you look on the shot record that the vet gives it will have marked off what shot was given. How many times have you taken her in for shots? with hew age it would seem that she was just finishing up with her puppy shots but sounds a bit odd with what you have posted.

Jeter is almost 15 weeks and has gone for his vaccination shots starting at 7 weeks old when he was with his breeder. His first 3 were DAPPC given 2 weeks apart he then went in for one Parvo shot last week and he went this week for one Rabies vaccine on Thursday, he does not need any more shots until December 19, 2008 and his next rabies shot is not till January 9,2009 after that he will only have to get rabies every 3 years. that is how my vet has his vaccination set up.

Also the Rabies vaccine varies as to when given from State to State and even county to county in each State. I wanted to postpone Jeter's rabies shot so I called our counties Dog Warden and was told that that dogs and cats 3 months and up in my county have to be vaccinated, If not and your dog bites someone and you have no proof of vaccination to rabies then they can quarantine for up to 6 months!

Dogs are like people and each react differently to shots.

Sorry to thread-hijack ... but it looks like the answers so far are good

You are right dogs are like people, so their system has memory just like yours.. Do you get shots every year? i guess not, and i can bet you dont live confined either

The fact that something has been a normal practice doesnt necessary mean its right, there are many paradigms that thankfully are being broke (alimentation for example).
