Does my dog need another shot?

Question
Hello,
I've had my dog since last year April & she got all her puppy shots including her rabies but I feel like She needs another one by now. Do you know which is needed? She's a bichon frise.

Thank you

Answer
I think there is a trend toward fewer shots.  It is hard for dog owners to find reliable information on it.  It is a good practice to have a vet exam at the end of a year, and then every year.  Many vets will want to give booster shots then.  I am not completely sure all the shots are needed, but usually suggest going along with your vet.  Where vets disagree on things, most dog owners should trust the one they go to.
