You I just adopted a dog. She is 2 years old but i found out she did not receive any vaccines. If i bring her to the vet which type of vaccines should i make sure she receives? Is it too late to get her vaccinated? Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Female | 9 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lola. Congratulations on adopting her! It is definitely not too late to get her vaccinated. Rabies, DHPP (distemper-parvo) and Bordetella are considered core vaccines. All dogs should receive them. Other vaccines such as leptospirosis, influenza and lyme will depend on your location and her expected lifestyle. She will likely need booster vaccines in a few weeks to give her full immunity. I hope this information helps!
