How can dogs prevent distemper?
The most effective prevention is regular vaccination starting at 6-8 weeks, with three initial shots 21-28 days apart and an annual booster. Keep the dog well-nourished and exercised to resist infection, and avoid contact with sick dogs since distemper spreads by direct contact, fomites and air.

What happens if a dog misses its fourth vaccine shot?
The core vaccine series is usually three shots; the fourth is typically the rabies vaccine. Without rabies vaccination you cannot register the dog, and it risks rabies from other animals, endangering the family. Rabies and core vaccines need not be given together, so just visit the vet. If the missed fourth shot was actually a core vaccine, antibody levels should be checked first.
How is a domestic dog vaccine?
Domestic vaccines are fine but use a proper clinic to avoid expired or fake ones causing failure. Domestic ones are newer with less stable production, so observe 30 minutes post-shot for allergies. After 3 shots, check antibodies and get a booster next year.
