when do i give my dog shots?

Question

my dog just turned 1 years old i want to know if i have to give her a shot every time its her birthday.

Answer 1

Well since you dont know when to give them, im guessing you are not a vet. SO...YOU shouldnt give your dog shots...maybe take it to a vet.

Answer 2

No, you don't need to give yearly vacciantions. It is not recommended or needed..here is the vacciantion protocol set by the AVMA/AAHA:

8-9 weeks distemper/parvo/canine hepatitis/adenovirus-2
12-14 weeks same as above
16 -18 weeks same as above

20 weeks or older rabies

one year AFTER the date of the last vaccination get a booster and then not again for 3 years.

necassary vaccinations are: distemper/parvo/canine hepatitis/adenovirus & rabies these are core vaccinations needed for all dogs.

Noncore vacciantions (not needed by all dogs, but might be needed by some due to high risk of exposure) Leptospirosis, parainfluenza, lyme

Not recommended for ANY dog:
coronavirus, adenovirus-1, giardia

VACCINATIONS SHOULD NOT BE GIVEN YEARLY!!!!!!!! This is NO longer proper protocol based on long term studies and recommendations by AVMA/AAHA. It is also NOT the protocolas set forth by ALL 27 vet schools. Yearly vacciantions can cause and have caused serious issues. Vacciantions last a lot longer then 1 year..they are effective for at least 3 years and according ot studies being conducted they are effective even longer.

Answer 3

Dogs don't necessarily have to get vaccinations on their birthdays. Their first vaccinations should be given when they are about 6-8 weeks old. Then, vaccinations should be given yearly from the time that they get their first rabies shot.
I'm guessing, from your question, that your dog has not had any vaccinations yet. You should schedule an appointment with a veterinarian to have her checked out and vaccinated. You should also consider having her spayed, if she's not already.

Answer 4

if she has had all her 4 sets of shots that she was supposed to get when she was under 1 year old then yes she will need a booster every year its best to ask ur vet when she will need them during this year and set an appointment, if she hasnt had the shots before, then u ABSOLUETLY need to give them to her its very important for her health and them many years to come of yours and her happy relationship

Answer 5

Only a veterinarian can give your dog shots. If she hasn't had her shot's yet, you really need to take her to the veterinarian, to get them. It's very important, to prevent diseases.
