Vacinating a dog is carried out in many countries against the dreaded rabies disease.

Hence, vaccination against rabies is given more emphasis always.

Even rabies tags are fixed on to the dog collar of most of the dogs. Rabies vaccine is given at age of thirteen to fifteenth weeks of age and is repeated in fifteenth months time.

However, this depends on the type of dog vaccine used.

Once in three years, this is repeated.

In dogs that have not received colostrums or dogs at high risk areas, give measles virus vaccine and killed parvovirus vaccine before five weeks of age itself.

Leptospira serovar vaccine is given at six to eight weeks of age and again at tenth to twelfth weeks and at thirteenth to sixteenth weeks.

Then annually repeat this.

Bordetella and lyme disease dog vaccinations are only optional ones in case of canines.
