The specific vaccinations your dog needs may vary based on your location, so it is important to talk to your veterinarian about what is recommended in your area. Your veterinarian can also create a vaccination schedule for your dog that will ensure they receive the necessary shots at the appropriate times, ensuring their optimal health and well-being.
