Task · part of 6. Six discussions about keeping a dog healthy
6(a). The vaccination schedule for a dog in your area
Required
Puppyhood through adulthood, and it varies by where you live, which is why the requirement says "in your area".
Notes and warnings
Note. The requirement says "in your area" for a reason: what a dog is vaccinated against, and how often, depends on what is circulating where you live. This page does not state a schedule. That is the discussion the requirement asks for.
