Disease Prevention: Adult dog vaccines are formulated to protect your dog from highly contagious and sometimes deadly diseases such as rabies, parvovirus, and distemper.

Public Health: Some canine diseases, like rabies, are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted to humans. Vaccinating your dog also contributes to public health.

Economic Benefits: Preventing diseases through vaccination is often more cost-effective than treating them after infection.

Community Immunity: Widespread vaccination helps establish "herd immunity," protecting dogs who cannot be vaccinated, such as puppies and those with certain medical conditions.

Core Vaccines: These are essential vaccines recommended for all adult dogs. They include vaccines against rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus.

Non-Core Vaccines: Non-core vaccines are administered based on your dog's lifestyle, environment, and potential exposure. Examples include vaccines against Bordetella (kennel cough) and Leptospira.

Consult Your Veterinarian: Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss your dog's vaccination needs. Your vet will assess your dog's age, health, and lifestyle to create a customized vaccination plan.

Initial Vaccination Series: Most adult dogs have already received their initial set of vaccines as puppies. However, if you are adopting an adult dog, your veterinarian may recommend an initial vaccination series if there's uncertainty about their vaccination history.

Booster Vaccines: After the initial series, adult dogs require periodic booster vaccines to maintain immunity. Booster intervals may vary depending on the specific vaccine.

Rabies Vaccination: In most regions, rabies vaccination is required by law. The timing of this vaccine varies depending on local regulations.
