Pet Dog Vaccine Cycle Pet dogs are ready for vaccination when they reach 9 weeks of age and are given three multiple shots with 21 days between each shot. The dog will receive the rabies vaccine one week after the multiple vaccinations, which is called the first immunization. After the first immunization is completed, the dog will only need one dose of the multiple vaccine and one booster shot of the rabies vaccine each year. Do not bathe your dog for a week after the vaccination, and do not take your dog out to play immediately after the vaccination, as it can easily lead to a cold or illness.
