There are several vaccines that are commonly recommended for poodles. These include:

1. Rabies vaccine: This is a legally required vaccine in many areas, and it should be given to all dogs. The frequency of vaccination may vary depending on local laws and your veterinarian’s recommendations.
2. Distemper vaccine: This vaccine protects against a number of serious and potentially deadly diseases, including distemper, hepatitis, and parvovirus. It is usually given to puppies in a series of shots, with booster shots given every one to three years thereafter.
3. Parainfluenza vaccine: This vaccine protects against respiratory infections caused by the parainfluenza virus. It is often given in combination with the distemper vaccine and may be given annually or every three years.
4. Leptospirosis vaccine: This vaccine protects against leptospirosis, a bacterial infection that can affect the kidneys and liver. It is usually given annually.
5. Bordetella vaccine: This vaccine protects against kennel cough, a highly contagious respiratory infection. It is often given to dogs that will be boarding, attending daycare, or participating in events where they will be around other dogs. It may be given annually or every six months.

It’s important to discuss your poodle’s vaccination needs with your veterinarian, as the specific vaccines and frequency of vaccination may vary based on your dog’s age, lifestyle, and overall health.
