Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | 10 years and 9 months old | 33 lbs

What vaccinations does my 12 year old beagle require today to be safe. His last were in January, 2018: rabies vaccine and canine distemper DHPP - adenovirus type 2 - parainfluenza-parvovirus vaccine. He is never around other dogs and hikes about 8 miles a week with me. Thank you in advance for your advise.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bingo. I would recommend the leptospirosis vaccine if you are doing hiking with him. This is a bacterial infection that is excreted in the urine of wildlife. It is a very serious disease in dogs, but can also be spread to humans. I recommend the Bordetella vaccine for all dogs as well. I hope this information helps!
