How to prevent rabiesIt can't be said often enough: Vaccinate your dog. That's what has kept this horrible disease under control for decades in the U.S. and Canada (unlike South America, Asia, and Africa, where there were more than 35,000 human deaths from rabies just last year). Your pup should be vaccinated the first time at three or four months of age, and then get a yearly booster shot without fail.http://dogtime.com/rabies.html
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.
As a puppy the dog should got a 5-way Shot at 6 and 9 weeks of age. Then at 12 and 15 weeks you give them a 7-way Shot. After that check with your local laws but always get a yearly booster. In Vermont the boosters are now every three years the same as for rabies boosters.
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.
yes there is no age limit to rabies
The rabies infection varies all different ages from ages one and up.
The Rabies vaccine should be given around 4 months of age. Ask your Veterinarian to see what the rules are in your state. Don't forget about the other vaccinations that are much needed for your dog and make sure you are up to date on them. Check with your Vet when you go in for your Rabies vaccination. Also ask your Vet about putting your dog on Heartworm preventative, if not on already. Heartworms are found all over the US. Mosquitoes are the carriers and every dog and cat should be put on a once a month pill to prevent Heartworm, year around and for the rest of their lives.
