Vaccine boosters are additional doses of vaccines that are given to dogs to help keep their immunity up. Boosters are typically given every 3 years or so, but the exact schedule will vary depending on the type of vaccine and the dog's individual needs.

There are a number of different vaccines that are recommended for dogs, including:

• Rabies vaccine: This vaccine protects dogs from rabies, a deadly disease that can be transmitted to humans through bites or scratches.
• DHPP vaccine: This vaccine protects dogs from distemper, hepatitis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus, all of which are serious and potentially fatal diseases.
• Leptospirosis vaccine: This vaccine protects dogs from leptospirosis, a bacterial disease that can cause kidney failure, liver damage, and even death.
• Bordetella vaccine: This vaccine protects dogs from Bordetella, a bacteria that can cause kennel cough, a respiratory infection that can be very contagious.
• Canine influenza vaccine: This vaccine protects dogs from canine influenza, a respiratory infection that can be very contagious and can cause serious illness in some dogs.

Your veterinarian can help you determine which vaccines are right for your dog and create a vaccination schedule that is tailored to their individual needs.

Here are some of the benefits of getting vaccine boosters for your dog:

• Reduced risk of disease: Vaccine boosters help to keep your dog's immunity up, which reduces their risk of contracting diseases.
• Improved health: Vaccines can help to improve your dog's overall health by preventing them from getting sick.
• Peace of mind: Knowing that your dog is protected from disease can give you peace of mind.
