The best age for rabies shots in dogs is between 12 and 16 weeks old. The shots can be good for five to seven years before a booster shot is needed, depending on the shot. The veterinarian administering the shot will have more information.

Can a person get rabies from a puppy?
A puppy can contract rabies if they are bitten by another animal already infected with rabies. Any animal at any age can contract it even if they have already had a rabies shot.
How much does the rabies shot for cats cost?
It really depends on age and what shots you're talking about. A cat needs an examination before it can be given a shot. This will probably run you around 100$. Rabies shots are REQUIRED and are around 50$. Total: 150$ However, as I said, it depends on how many shots and which ones you get. I don't buy the others since they ARE known to actually get cats sick. ALSO, please make sure your vet delivers them in a limb, not the torso. Usually, it's the right hind leg. (Shots have been proven to cause cancer and require amputation of the limb. Be wary and informed when getting your cats shots)
If you live in the city at what age should you first walk your puppy?
It is best to wait until your puppy has had all of its shots. Typically 3 sets of puppy shots will do the trick. Your puppy's shots need to include Parvo. Parvo is deadly and fairly common (depending on your area). At 4 months old they are vaccinated against Rabies (some people walk their dogs before this shot). After your puppy is fully vaccinated start your walks. If you got your dog from a breeder, they can help you with common practices in puppy care and breed specific questions. Your vet is always a good resource and should be happy to answer any question you may have.

How much shots does a Yorkshire terrier need?
The same as any other dog; $20-$35 each, at the vet. You can purchase most vaccines except rabies on-line or at a feed store for $4-$11, which may or may not include the syringes, and of course, you'll need to learn to give them yourself, which is fairly easy to learn. However, rabies shots can only be given legally by a licensed vet, so you will have to go to the vet for that, or, you might be able to find a rabies clinic near you, were shots are administered(usually held annually by your local animal shelter/SPCA) for $15. Remember that your dog only needs a 3years rabies shot, not annual boosters, and Distemper usually lasts longer then it is said. Lyme shots, although you may have them done to your dog, are not necessary. Do it once, perhaps; it will cover your dog for 3-5years.
What age is usually affected by rabies?

What shots do puppy need?
Dogs need to get their first booster shots at 8 weeks of age. After leaving their mom if they are not vaccinated they can get diseases like parvovirus which is fatal and caninevirus which is like parvo but not fatal. Talk to your vet and he will explain the shots that your puppy needs.
When is the puppies first injection?
Puppies generally receive their first vaccines, and necessary boosters at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 16 weeks of age. They should return to the Vet at 1 year for their first "adult" shots, and typically every year for an exam. Check with your Vet for his/her specific protocol as the necessary vaccines can vary by region.
