I plan for my vet to declare my 9 year old dead for the next rabies. I don't want him to get it now. And my vet agrees with me on this, so Dexter will be dead to the county, but hopefully will have some more time with us. He is not doing great now, so who knows. We do love him, my last pet. sheila Wasatchgld@xxxxxxx wrote: My vet's office told me they often give rabies shots at 12 weeks now. My Kennel license requires me to turn in a copy of the certificates when my inspection is done each year, and any renewel's within a couple of weeks of the prior expiration date. The last few litters of pups, I've told the AC I wouldn't do the Rabies vaccination until at least a month after the last puppy shots (which I give around 16 weeks). So far, they've accepted my turning in the Rabies certificate when the pups are about 5 months old. I have explained to them the risks of too many vaccinations too close together. Unfortunately, they won't waive the requirement for seniors - I have a 9 1/2 year old girl that has to have her booster tomorrow :o( Janice In a message dated 12/29/2006 11:45:34 P.M.

We have to have rabies in California from 4 months to 6 months. We wait until they are 6 months ........
