| 3 year rabies shot when the time comes, that is what our vet does. Is it safe for little guys? I don't think they give it until about 4 months if I am remembering what they told me. Last edited by LifeLovePassion; 08-27-2010 at 05:20 AM. |

Donating YT 4000 Club Member | I'm confused as to whether there is an actual difference in the 1 year vs.3 year vaccine. Different places on the net say conflicting things. The one thing they all do agree on is that you do need the initial vaccine and then the 1 year follow up. The immune system takes time to develop sufficient immunity. Rabies vaccinations - learn why are some good for 1 year and some good for 3 years for rabies vaccinations

| If your concern is based on possible reactions to the shot, I would definitely ask for a steroid before the shot. Talk with your vet a week or so before and explain your concerns about reactions. Usually they have no problem giving you a steroid pill so that you can give it to your pup an hour before any shots. |

| Pfizer's Defensor I and Defensor III are the same, so that's why some say they are the same. Other companies may not do this, like Merial. Someobdy on YT said that their vet said other companies don't have identical vaccines (1 and 3 year). And for these companies, supposedly the 3 year is different or stronger. We never got to the bottom of it around here. We'd have to call companies and such...
