How many shots are a dog are suppose to get?

Answer 1

Well it depends for what . DO you mean during their whole lives? Well they is rabies,heartworm,etc,etc!!
It all depends on your dogs health

Answer 2

Depends, not enough information. They get a series of I think it is a 5 in one 3 times 6,8,12 weeks old some get an extra parvo shot depending on the breed and owner. I alway get the lyme disease shot and that is a series of 2, 2 weeks apart the first year then yearly. Rabies is 1 time the first year then you can do it once every 3 years. Heartworms are given in a tablet form the first 2 years then after that they draw blood to check then back on the tabes depending on where you live you may only need to administrate it 6 months out of a year. And kennel cought shot should be given once every 6 months. Hope that helped you. Opinions vary on what program the owners and where you live also is a factor. Like if you live where ticks aren't a problem then you won't need lyme disease shots.

Answer 3

you should consult your vet... not people on Y!A

That being said, puppies usually go through at least a series of three shots. They usually get a combo DHLPP or DHPP shot which protects them from things like Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus, and Leptospirosis (which is the L in the first shot). The third set usually one combo shot and a separate rabies shot. After that they need to get boosters on an anual basis.

Depending on where you live and your vet's opinion, your dog may need additional vaccinations like Coronavirus or Lyme Disease. If you board your dog at a kennel while you travel, many kennels require Kennel Cough vaccinations within the last 12 or 6 months.

Answer 4

Like everyone said, it depends on what age the pup is, and if he/she has started the shot series already. Word of caution: if it is a small dog it is best to avoid the Lepto vaccine, it generally causes more harm than good (read: reactions, like anaphalactic shock!). Also, be sure that the dog can handle the shots, it may be better to spread them out over a few months than give them all at once. Research specific reactions for your breed of dog. If you are unsure if the dog has been vaccinated already you can get the levels of vaccine in the blood checked by blood titers, not too expensive. Do not blindly listen to a vet, sorry, but it is good to do your homework to protect your animal! Good luck.

Answer 5

Puppies get a series of vaccs DHLPP&corona monthly or at 6,9,12,& 15wks. the last set is given at 6mo. along with rabies vacc. From there vaccs are given once a year with yearly check up. Some vets use 3yr rabies vacc so then you wouldn't need that every yr depending on your vet. If you intend to groom or board you will need the bordetella vacc, it is given nasal & is every 6mo. Some ppl opt for lymes vacc. Heartworm is once a year in spring & it is a blood test. I usually do my yearly check up in the spring so I can get it all done at once.

There has been debate if dogs need yearly vaccs, some vets believe it is over vaccinating. Check with your vet. I hope this helped.

6 & 8 week vacc.
Parvo
Distemper
Adenovirus Type 2
Hepatitis
Parinfluenza

12 & 15 wk vacc.
Parvo
Distemper
Adenovirus Type 2
Hepatitis

Answer 6

It depends on what age he starts them. A typical vet schedule is 8, 12, and 16 weeks. Could have one more in there if started a bit earlier. It's really important to get at least 2 distemper combo shots over the age of 12 weeks. Your vet will advise, as the pup also needs fecal checks, deworming, health exam, and heartworm prevention just to name a few things.

Answer 7

first shots at 6 wks second shots and 9 wks 3rd shot at 12 wks rabies at 12-14 wks then when they hit a year one booster a year and they need there updates rabies usually 1-3 yrs

Answer 8

puppies need to be vaccinated every 3 weeks starting at 6-8 weeks of age until they are 15-16 weeks of age. Then they need to be vaccinated yearly. Rabies, Distmeper, Parvo, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Lyme, Bordatella are all vaccinations that dogs can be vaccinated for. Some are optional some are required by law. Contact your vet
