What vaccinations does my adopted puppy need after DAPP and Rabies?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 months and 11 days old | 4 lbs

I adopted Oliver from a foster home and they gave me paperwork stating he had a DAPP & Rabies vaccine on 12/11/2017. I was wondering if there is more vaccines he needs and if so when and what?

He should receive the Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine if you plan to take him to dog parks, the pet store, boarding facility or around any other dogs. Also you should be sure that your pet doesn't need boosters on the DAPP vaccine, which is likely considering his age. Most puppies get their last set of vaccinations around 14-16 weeks of age. Pet typically only need 1 round of the Bordetella vaccine, which then becomes a yearly vaccination. If your pet is going to be going outside to use the potty, then the Leptospirosis vaccine is recommended, which typically is boostered 1 time. I hope this helps and best wishes with your pet Oliver Bean.
