    If you are in America, likely your state requires a rabies shot at 4-6 months and annually after that. Other countries may have lesser requirements. Vets disagree about rabies and other shots. Unless your vet seems to be a kook at either fringe area, I would follow their advice. For judging your vet's schedule, check American Veterinary Medical Association. A vet should have a good feel local problems and use a slightly different schedule from the AVMA.

    If you are new to dog ownership, you may find ''What does a puppy need?'' useful. See https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/i...tml#post251802

    You may get better answers if you give you location. You can protect your privaticy as I did with northern USA.

    After the initial shots as labman points out, certain states still give the 3 year rabies shots. Mine does and that is what I do. So, as labman states, check with your vet. In all likelihood, your vet follows the states guidelines.
