The one year and three year are the exact same vaccine - same dosage, same amount, exact same vaccine....the only difference is how often you give it. The three year is not any different than the one year vaccine. So you are actually giving you pets a larger amount of medication by vaccinating them with the one year, as opposed to only having one shot every three years.
