What Are All These Vaccines For? 

Rabies you understand. Distemper sounds familiar. But what are all these other vaccines your vet is recommending for your dog? Does he really need them? What about booster shots? The AKC's free e-book What Are All These Vaccines For? will answer your questions.

Here, we break it down for you so you can talk to your vet knowledgeably about the canine diseases you can protect against with vaccines or preventatives, as well as which are treatable, and how to make the best decision for your pet’s health. 

About this Series

At the AKC, we know better than anyone that your dog can’t be treated like a car or an appliance, but we’ve named this series “A Dog Owner’s Manual” because sometimes you probably wish your lovable companions came with one.

These concise guides give you the tools, tips, and direction to be a responsible and confident dog owner who brings out the best in your dog. Give them a test drive!
