Dogs are seniors when they are about 10 or 11 years old. Veterinarians recommend wellness visits twice a year to screen for age-related illnesses. Dogs must receive the rabies vaccine every three years. Veterinarians administer other vaccines on a need basis. If the senior dog’s vaccination history is unknown, the veterinarian can schedule shots two to four weeks apart. Adult dogs generally receive booster shots every one to three years, depending on the vaccine and the animal’s risk factors. Your veterinarians will recommend the best vaccine schedule for your dog. If you have concerns about your dog’s health and their need for vaccines, talk to your veterinarian.
