WHAT SHOULD MY DOG ACTUALLY GET?
A clinic menu is not the same thing as an individualized vaccine plan. Age, prior vaccination, health, travel, boarding, daycare, dog parks, wildlife exposure and other lifestyle factors matter. Use a veterinarian to decide what your dog needs and when boosters are due.
Rabies
Legally required and essential. Bring prior vaccination documentation if you're hoping to qualify for a three-year rabies vaccine.
Core Vaccines
Distemper/parvovirus combination vaccination is part of routine preventive care. Puppies require a series rather than one-and-done vaccination.
Lifestyle Vaccines
Bordetella, leptospirosis, canine influenza and Lyme vaccination may be recommended depending on where your dog goes and what they're exposed to.
