PetCo, PetSmart and a variety of other dog food/supply places administer shots for cost ($8-10). OK add $2 for record keeping for VA. How much easier can it get? And why should "authorities" have to make anything "easier"? "Easier" than what? You own a dog, you have a civic responsibility to obey the laws re licensing, vaccinations, leash laws, # of dogs kept, nuisance (barking, running loose) and all the rest. IMO, all this fuss over legislation comes from two camps; the strict Libertarians who think any law is an infringement on some right or another (the same people protest seat belt and motor cycle helmet laws and that's fine, that's their right and one thing about Libertarians, they sure are consistent!) AND those who have something to hide (over dogged for a particular community, dogs kept in such a manner they'd be embarrassed for their peers to actually see...) Those that have something to hide are pretty darn vocal.
