Vaccinations

 Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus.  Previously an annual vaccination; however, some vets now have a 3 year vaccination.  Parvo is extremely bad in the Tri-cities area.  It is horrible and often deadly.   

 Rabies is required by law and often required for city/county licenses.  First vaccination is an annual vaccine and after that most are every 3 years 

 Vet's do not automatically give this vaccine.  Often you must specifically ask for it! Bordetella is generally a 1 year vaccination.  It is like a flu vaccination and only covers a few strains.   The Bordetella vaccine has been ineffective with a canine cold, just like a human flu shot is ineffective with a common cold.
