There are some states that may let you give your dog certain shots at home but rabies shots must be given by a professional vet. Because Rabies affects mammals (including humans) by attacking the brain and causing severe inflammation, the shot, if given incorrectly, can pass and without treatment it's fatal. When the rabies virus reaches the brain, it multiplies quickly and rabies symptoms begin. If this passes to anyone or if you're dog receives it because you did something wrong you can be charged with animal endangerment and even arrested for putting humans in danger.
