2 year old dog shots

Question
Hi Becky! I know this is not your expertise, but any help and information I would appreciate. I have a 2 year old Papillon who never had her shots completed. She had the first 2 sets of puppy shots, but did not get her 3rd set that would have completed her puppy shots. She is extremely healthy and happy, but I would like to get her shots up to date now because it is extremely important. My question is, how would I do this at her age? Would I start her puppy shots all over again (which I know I would have had to do if she was still a puppy and missed one of her sets of shots), or would I just begin getting the regular adult boosters on schedule for her age? Do you think this has greatly affected her health in the long run? I really hope you can help me. Thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi Ariana!
I just love Papillons!  I bet she is adorable. You don't have to worry. You were lucky to have had no problems when her puppy shots weren't completed, however, you don't have to re-do the puppy series.  From now on, get a booster every year.  You can start that anytime.  

God Bless,
Becky
