My 10-year-old dogs need vaccines for dog parks. Do they need shots?

Question

My ten-year-old dogs haven't been vaccinated in 5 years they never travel but I am going to start walking them and taking them to dog parks should I vaccinate them again and do I give them a booster. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

It depends on what vaccines they have had. Rabies and Distemper do not likely need to be bolstered. Leptospirosis or Lyme likely need to be. It depends on the type of Bordetella vaccine being used if it will need a vaccine. Yes, absolutely get the dogs caught back up on vaccines and I recommend to have them on a flea and heartworm prevention (pick Interceptor or Heartgard as they have the best protect against intestinal worms) too as stuff like that (no heartworms but intestinal worms) are often found at dog parks. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
