When to get rabies vaccination for dogs Dogs are three months old and should be vaccinated for rabies after immunizations and annually thereafter. Rabies is a lethal disease and once a dog develops it will be very difficult to be cured, so if your dog is bitten outdoors or is at risk of rabies exposure, then make sure you don’t miss the best time and try to get your dog vaccinated within 24 hours. The rabies vaccine is not just one shot, but also a top-up shot. The rabies vaccine is usually given in five injections, at intervals of one month thereafter, so be sure to go to a regular hospital and listen carefully to the doctor’s instructions when giving the injection.
