Hi All, I have always been a firm believer in not over vaccinating. I have never given my dogs shots every year as I figured you do not vaccinate children every year, why animals. It is also the biggest money maker for the Vets. I am fortunate to have a Vet for a friend who does my titers and snaps and she is total against shots every two weeks or giving more then one shot at a time. My AB and Lab Clubs hold clinics every year where you can have all this done also. I do not give rabies after 10 years of age and we are lucky to leave in a start that recognizes the Rabies Challenge and my Vet signs off on them. I have had the pleasure to speak to Dr. Dobbs and she was wondering why for all those years I did not give yearly shots, when I told her my reasoning she told me I was correct. One of my other Vets was also a researcher, she agreed with me and with my cats, they get their first shots and one year booster including Feline Luk and since they are house cats never anymore.
