Which vaccines does my dog need?

At Petfolk Peachtree Corners, vaccines fall into two groups.

Core, for every dog:

• Rabies: required by law. Gwinnett County requires a current rabies tag for all dogs and cats.

• DAPP: distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza and parvovirus, given as a combination shot.

Lifestyle, based on your dog's week:

• Leptospirosis: for dogs who drink from puddles, creeks or the Chattahoochee, or meet wildlife.

• Bordetella (kennel cough): often required by boarding, daycare and groomers.

• Canine influenza: for dogs in close contact with many other dogs.

How often do adult dogs need shots?

After the puppy series and first-year boosters, rabies and DAPP are usually given every 1 or 3 years, depending on the product used. Leptospirosis and canine influenza are usually yearly. Bordetella is yearly for most dogs, and some kennels ask for it every 6 months. The vet at Petfolk Peachtree Corners lines up due dates so most dogs need one vaccine visit a year.

Dog park and daycare rules

Peachtree Corners' off-leash dog park near the Town Green asks that every dog wear a collar with a valid license and have current vaccinations required by law. Daycares and boarding kennels around Gwinnett County usually ask for rabies, DAPP and Bordetella records, and some add canine influenza. Got a form from the facility? Bring it. The team can email your dog's vaccine history.

Across Petfolk, 79% of puppies who started their series with us came back for at least a second distemper-parvo booster (first doses Oct 1, 2025 to Jun 30, 2026).

Leptospirosis and the river

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection spread in the urine of wildlife like raccoons and rats; it lives in standing water, creeks and wet soil, and it can damage a dog's kidneys and liver. People can catch it too. Dogs who swim at Jones Bridge Park, splash in the Chattahoochee off the Simpsonwood Park trails, or drink from puddles after a storm are the ones most at risk. The lepto vaccine needs two doses a few weeks apart the first time, then a yearly booster. If your dog is mostly a backyard and sidewalk dog, the vet may say it's optional.

Calm vaccine visits

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. The team uses treats, gentle holds and small needles, and gives shots where your dog is comfortable, even on the floor.

The shots were done without even a flinch on her end, they were very patient and calmed her down well!
