Actually, I've never heard a vet being against vaccinating less as long as it's safe for the animal...I think any vet that seems against it probably is just not up to date on the latest info about vaccines and how long they last. So many older vets have been doing yearly vaccines for years and that's just all they know to do unless they've stayed "in the know". |
Maybe not as many people not come in for the yearly exam and bloodwork if it wasn't required by law to go in for the rabies every year. A lot of vets charge an office examination fee also, even if all they did was give the shot.
