My dog missed parvo booster. Is it too late for the vaccine?

Question

I adopted a 1yr old dog a couple months ago, she was vaccinated with the parvo vaccine in the shelter. She started getting sick within a day of getting her. I took her to the vet and she tested positive for distemper. After treatment she is doing very well but she missed her parvo booster. Is it too late to give it or does she have to get an extra parvo vaccine? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 35 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is never too late! Get the booster done. Being late on the booster just means she may need an additional booster. But hat depends on HOW late you are, if it is just a week or 2 probably not. If it is months then I would give her an extra one 3 weeks later. It is better to be safe! I wish you and Layla the best!
