7-month puppy needs shots. Can she get all vaccines now? Safe to walk?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 22 days old

My puppy is going to be seven months soon and she still hasn't gotten all of her shots. She has only gotten one when she was about three to four months but I don't have the paper to see what shot she was given, is it possible to just get all her shots in one hit even though she already got one? Also can I take her for short walks?

Likely Nala got a combination vaccine for distemper, parvovirus, canine hepatitis, and parainfluenza. If she only got one shot, then she likely didn't have rabies, as that's a separate vaccine. A lot of states in the US require dogs to be vaccinated for rabies by law, so she will need that done. She will also need a booster shot for DHPPi (the diseases I mentioned above). I would not take Nala to places where dogs frequent, such as dog parks or parks in general, until she is fully vaccinated to prevent her from getting infected with a serious disease. I would have Nala vaccinated as soon as possible.
