Dog got emergency rabies shot. Does he still need his regular one?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | 10 months and 6 days old

Cooper has antirabies injection last week due to pig bite but he has is regular actual antirabies injection dose on April 1st 2017, so do I have to give antirabies on April 1st also, or is that enough that it got due to pig bite

The rabies vaccine that he got last week should last for either 1 or 3 years so you should not have to give another vaccine on April 1st. The best thing would be to check with the vet that gave the vaccination to determine when he needs another dose.
