Unless your pup is being boarded, you do not need the bordatella vax either, it must be given every six months and only protects against a handful of the multitude of various strains of bordatella (kennel cough). We do not recommend giving Lepto, Lyme, Corona or Giardia. Toy breed dogs typically do not handle these vaccines well, and many can have moderate to severe allergic reactions to the vaccine itself.

If you are not going to keep your pup on HW preventative, you should plan to do a deworming at minimum once every year, every six months if he/she happens to be a poop eater. They can pick up various types of internal parasites from eating poop, digging in the dirt, etc. You can purchase Panacur (dewormer) which is very safe & effective at any on-line pet supply (such as www.revivalanimal.com) and it is very inexpensive.

Hope that helps.
