Rabies vaccine is given yearly or every three years depending on previous vaccine history.
Bordetalla, a vaccine that helps prevent “kennel cough”, is a good idea for dogs that are boarded, go to the groomer or are around other dogs at the park. It is a yearly vaccine, although some boarding facilities require it every 6 months.
We administer these vaccines after a complete yearly health exam. |
