Dogs typically receive their first rabies vaccine between 14 and 16 weeks of age. This initial vaccination is followed by a booster shot one year later. After the booster, dogs generally need to be vaccinated every 1 to 3 years, depending on the type of vaccine used and state or country regulations
. Some key points:
- The first rabies shot is usually given at about 3-4 months old.
- A booster is required one year after the initial vaccine.
- Subsequent boosters are administered every 1 to 3 years.
- The exact schedule can vary by local laws and vaccine type.
- Keeping rabies vaccinations up to date is legally required in most places and critical for protection against this fatal disease.
Your veterinarian is the best source to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule for your dog based on local regulations and health considerations
