My 1-year-old small dog is behind on shots. What vaccines are needed?

Question

I've had a few issues with the vet I took my Kai to among other things coming up so I haven't been able to get him vaccinated on time. I finally have some money so I'm trying to get him at least as caught up as I can for now. I'm just unsure of what he needs exactly. He turns 1 on May 14th. He's a little Pom/Chihuahua+ mix around 10lbs. When he was 6months he got: Distemper, Hepatitis (CAV-2), Canine Parvovirus, Parainfluenza, Leptospirosis, and later on DHLPP#2. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 11 months and 11 days old | 10 lbs

Vaccine recommendations to partially depend upon his lifestyle and where you live. Also, that second vaccine should have been given in a 2 to 4 week window from the initial vaccine. If it was given later than four weeks after the first vaccine, he will need booster vaccines within a 2 to 4 week window. Assuming he was given the vaccines at the appropriate time, Kai should get another DHLPP and a rabies vaccine. If he gets groomed, goes to the park or has contact with other dogs in general, you may consider getting a kennel cough vaccine. Other vaccines are for Lyme disease and Influenza (dog flu). Your local veterinarian can discuss if these diseases are present in your area and what potential risk factors exist. You may be able to find lower cost vaccinations at a low-cost vaccine clinic or a vaccine clinic in general. You can generally find information online. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
