How often does a dog need a bordetella shot?
it is recommended that they get them ATLEAST 2 weeks before bording...if your dog boards frequently more than 3x a year, then get it every 6 months, if it is just for puppy classes or an occasional kennel trip then every year. Also if it is a nasal vaccine, allot of vets recommend a Booster a few weeks after the first one. I haven't heard of a booster after an injected vaccine...but that just may be the vets I work with, every vet is different. and the vaccine booster will not "hurt" any if boosted...
Except for the human flu vaccine, why do dogs/cats need vaccines boosted every year while people don’t?
Rabies vaccine for cats comes in a one year and three year option. This virus is rarely found in pets and is slow to mutate.The 3–1 tackles viruses like our flu that mutate year to year and even region to region, so if they are vaccinated it might not protect them completely.The other one for FVRCP is 3 years.A kitten will need 3 rounds of boosters every 2 weeks starting as soon as they are 1 lb.Adults normally don’t need boosters unless never been vaccinated, and even then they might need one booster.Hope this helps!
