I can see how money spreads. Is that the big factor? Or am I over looking something? Am I the only one whos considered NOT getting it done? Not to put my dog at risk but because its overkill? I'm to much of a law abider to ever do that though.

They have done studies that show it lasts at least SEVEN years! But of course that would cut into the vet's revenue too much! That's what's behind it.

This vet here was very instrumental in getting the law changed from yearly to three years in Texas. http://www.critterfixer.com/Vaccination%20Clinics.htm
