Need help on puppy shots? Can anyone help?

My puppy received his first set of shots ar 8 weeks

DA2PPCV and the Bordetella. I went to petsmart when he was 12 weeks to get the DA2PPCV and bordetella 2 shots. Now he is 15 weeks and was told that I need to go back this weekend. I called my vet and they said i can wait until he is 16 weeks to get the 3rd set of shot and the rabies. I am confused because i thought they needed to have 4 sets of shots. does anyone know?

    Your vet's right - 3 sets of shots and the last one would be at 16 weeks. However, I don't like giving a dog that many shots all at once - it's too hard on their system. I'd separate the combo from the rabies by a week or two.

    Some Clinics require 3 sets, while others need 4. Three sets will be fine as long as you started the series at 8 weeks and continued to booster every 3 weeks. You need to ask why they haven't been giving the Leptospirosis vaccine with the distemper/parvo combo though.
