When should my puppy get booster shots after a delayed start?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 26 days old | 8 lbs

My dog got his first shots at 5 months old. They wete his rabies shots. In one month he is finally vetting hus Distemper and Parvo combo shots, along wuth Bordatella and Lepto. Since he will be about 6 months old.... when will he need to go back to get his second rabies shots and his second distemper and parvo shots. Basically my question is how often to take him back? Since I feel like i messed up the whole vaccines process by getting them too late. Will it be in a year? or on his birthday?Etc.

Great question! Cane will need to go back four weeks after getting his rabies shot for a booster. As for the combo shot, he will need to return four weeks after that initial shot to get a booster. Once he gets both of those boosters, then he will need to return in a year for another booster. The Bordatella and Lepto will both need to be booster in a year after the initial shot. I hope this helps! Good on you for getting it done :-)

    Great question! Cane will need boosters of both the rabies and DHPPi four weeks after he got the initial vaccines. Once he gets both of those boosters, then he will need to return in a year for another booster. I hope this helps! Good on you for getting it done :-)
