Which vaccines does my adult dog need?

Every adult dog at Petfolk Vintage Park needs two core vaccines: rabies and the distemper-parvo combination (often written DHPP or DAPP). Texas law requires the rabies vaccine. The distemper-parvo shot protects against several viruses that spread easily between dogs.

Lifestyle vaccines depend on your dog's week:

• Leptospirosis: for dogs that drink from puddles, swim, or walk in wet grass.

• Bordetella (kennel cough): for dogs that board, go to daycare or the groomer.

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

• Lyme disease: rarely needed here. Across Petfolk's Houston-area clinics, it was given at fewer than 1 in 100 dog vaccine visits from October 2025 through September 2026.

Why lepto matters after a Houston storm

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection spread through the urine of wildlife like rats and raccoons. It survives in standing water. Texas A&M's diagnostic lab notes that wet conditions raise the risk, even for city dogs that only use parks, trails or the backyard. In northwest Houston, that risk climbs in the weeks after a big rain. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30.

If your dog sniffs and splashes on every walk, ask the vet at Petfolk Vintage Park about the lepto vaccine.

Kennel cough, the nose-drop version

Most dogs at Petfolk's Houston-area clinics get kennel cough protection as drops in the nose instead of a shot. More than 9 in 10 Bordetella vaccines given there were the intranasal kind in that same window. Some dogs sneeze for a day or two afterward. That is normal and usually passes on its own.

I will definitely be bringing my anxious dog here for any vet work needed.

Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic. The team uses treats and a calm voice, and gives an anxious dog time to settle first.

How often does my dog need boosters?

After the puppy series, most adult dogs get a distemper-parvo booster every one to three years and a rabies booster every one or three years, depending on the vaccine used. Lepto, kennel cough and flu are usually yearly. The vet at Petfolk Vintage Park tells you what's due and gives you the dates in writing.

Many dogs get several shots in one trip. Across Petfolk's Houston-area clinics, more than 4 in 10 dog vaccine visits covered three or more vaccines.

What do dog vaccines cost?

Vaccines are usually given at a wellness exam, which starts at $99 at Petfolk Vintage Park, or is included with PetfolkCare. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.

After the shots

Mild soreness or a sleepy evening is common. Call the clinic if your dog's face swells, hives appear, or vomiting starts within a few hours. If your dog collapses or has trouble breathing, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as BluePearl Pet Hospital on Spring Cypress Rd.
