Forgot dog's vaccine booster. Does she need to restart all shots?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 10 months old | 20 lbs

My dog had almost all of her vaccinations except one, the vet told us to come back in one year but we forgot. would we be able to just take that shot or would we have to restart?

The first annual booster vaccine is very important to maximise long term protection and it is likely a course of 2 vaccines may be required to reinforce immunity. This depends in part on what she had already and the local disease risk in your area, your vet can advise further at your check up
