My dog got shots last year. Does he need more vaccinations and when?

Question

I had my dog microchipped at Petco last year and he got all his vaccinations. Does he need to go back for more vaccinations? If so, how often? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 2 months old | 12 lbs

Great question! Yes Benji will need to return for his vaccines, but the amount of time between them depends on when he had his puppy vaccines. If he got all of his first vaccines last year, then he will need a booster of them this year. If he received a booster of his vaccines last year, then most of these vaccines can be received once every three years. This excludes the bordetella vaccine (kennel cough), which must be given yearly. I would call Petco to ask when he should get his next round of vaccines :-)
