Vaccinations protect your dog from serious, preventable diseases. Here is the typical schedule — and how to keep it on track.
After the puppy series, dogs need periodic boosters. Core vaccines are commonly boosted every 1–3 years; rabies intervals are set by local regulation. Your vet tailors this to your dog’s age, health and exposure.
Core (all dogs): distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, rabies. Non-core (lifestyle/region): Bordetella (kennel cough), leptospirosis, Lyme, canine influenza.
The hardest part isn’t the shots — it’s remembering them a year later. Record each vaccine with its date and let a reminder nudge you before the next one is due.
Track it all automatically with eVetPuppies get a series every 2–4 weeks until about 16 weeks old. Adult dogs then need boosters every 1–3 years depending on the vaccine and local laws.
Core vaccines are recommended for all dogs: distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus (hepatitis), and rabies. Non-core (e.g. Bordetella, leptospirosis, Lyme) depend on lifestyle and region.
Log each vaccination with its date in a pet health app like eVet, and set a reminder before the next booster is due so it never slips.
