How often does a daschund (weiner dogs) need shots? Or do they need shots?

Vaccination schedules are very controversial. Some vets say there is always bad reactions, and we are killing more dogs that we are saving with too many vaccinations. The fanatic I use says ''Yes the standard schedule protects 75% of the dogs from parvo, but what about the other 25%?''. He has me trotting in every 2 weeks for a while, and a last one at 9 months. If the vet you use isn't too extreme, I would go along with their schedule. Any vet should be more familiar with local conditions than any website.

Your vet will know state and local laws too. In most of the country the dog needs heartworm remedy too, and perhaps flea remedy.
