Does your 14 year old house dog still need DAP vaccine?

The DAP (Distemper-Adenovirus-Parainfluenza) vaccine is typically recommended for dogs up to 16 weeks of age. However, some veterinarians may recommend an additional booster vaccine for dogs that are at high risk of exposure to these viruses, such as those that live in shelters or are frequently boarded. After the initial series of vaccines, most dogs will only need booster vaccines every three years. Therefore, your 14 year old house dog likely does not need another DAP vaccine. Talk to your veterinarian to confirm the vaccination schedule that is right for your dog.
