Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Lilo is super cute! If Lilo had all her puppy shots that ended around 4 months of age then she will be due for boosters around 1 year 4 months. The vaccines that are usually due are the DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvo and parainfluenza) and Rabies. If you had an elective or extra vaccines done like Leptospirosis, Bordatella, Lyme of canine influenza they would be due as well. If she never had vaccines before then she would need a Rabies and two DHPP vaccines 3 weeks a part. I hope this helps!

    Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What vaccines Lilo needs at one year of age depends on what she has received in the past as a puppy. Typically, vaccine boosters are needed one year after they finished their puppy vaccine series which should have included at least DHPP (distemper-parvovirus-hepatitis-parainfluenza) and rabies. Bordetella, canine influenza, leptospirosis, and lyme are all other optional vaccines you may want Lilo to receive now if determined necessary or recommended by your veterinarian. I hope this helps!

    Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At 1 year of age the core vaccines that are boostered are DHPP (Distemper, Parvo, Hepatitis and Parainfluenza) which usually is then good for 3 years and the Rabies vaccine which also should be a 3 year vaccines going forward. If you chose to do any of the elective vaccines (leptospirosis, lyme, bordatella, or canine flu) they are boostered as well and are always 1 year vaccines.
