Dr. Jean Hofve answers Frequently Asked pet parent Questions.
Today's question is How often do dogs need rabies shots?
Well, the rabies vaccine is required by law pretty much everywhere. You can contact your local animal control and find out what the legal requirements are for dogs in your area.
Rabies is a public health hazard, and it is endemic in wildlife throughout the United States. It is very important that your dog be vaccinated for rabies. _______ virus vaccines that are available. There are no other kinds at this point. They are effective, but it does require both of the two shot initial puppy series at least within a year of each other. This is how you get full immunity. Now, how long that immunity lasts is up for debate. Holistic veterinarians believe that- I'm one of them- that the rabies vaccines once your dog is fully immunized last for 5 to 7 years or more.
However it is important to comply with the laws in your jurisdiction. If your adult dog has a medical condition, like autoimmune disease or cancer, then it may be possible to have your veterinarian write a letter exempting your dog from the rabies vaccine. This does not work in all places but it is worth a shot if you want to minimize your dog vaccinations. I hope this helped!
