I’ve had it now for a few months, Puppy shots

I’ve had it now for a few months and with a new puppy often as they are reaching milestones as they grow certain shots are required to be done more then the annual shots. I think the company should have that built into the system. First round of shots at 9 weeks covered very well, second shots a month later not covered at all. “You have reached the yearly usage of this type of shot” obviously not as you can’t give the full dose to a puppy all at once. Hope this will be a consideration with who ever reviews the policy options next year... it should be setup as a amount for the puppy shots series recommended by the vets!
