What shots does my 7-month-old rescued dog need with no vaccines?

Question

Hi there! I am rescuing a dog tomorrow from an unfit owner. She is 7 months old. I really don't know a lot of information about her other than her age and that she's a beagle poodle mix. I don't believe that she has had any of her immunizations. What shots should I get for her? I read about certain immunizations for certain age brackets but since she's surpassed them, I didn't know the procedure. Please let me know. Thank you and best regards, Danielle.

Hi Danielle, Thank you for rescuing this pup! Basically at this age with no vaccine history she would need basically the first round puppy shot and the rabies vaccine. Then you would do boosters of the puppy shot in 3-4 weeks. Then she will be set for a year. The only truly core vaccine for puppies is the distemper-parvo combination shot (DA2PP), which I am referring to above as the "puppy shot". There are other vaccines available though that you may want to talk to your vet about. These are given depending on her lifestyle and what she may have exposure to. Those include: 1. Bordetella (kennel cough) 2. Leptospirosis 3. Lyme 4. Influenza Hope this helps. If you have more questions feel free to post again. Best wishes.
