Question

A friend his dog and does not when he gave him the rabies shot lost papers. Can I give him another rabies shot. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 1 year and 11 months old | 8 lbs

Yes this is perfectly fine to give him another rabies vaccine. We often deal with lost of stray pets with no knowledge of vaccine history so we vaccinate for Rabies again, regardless of if it is expired or not. There is no harm to the animal in doing so, unless they have a rare allergy. I hope that Max does well with his Rabies moving forward. Best wishes and take care.
