My Vet doesn't recommend shots but every three years. There was a 10 year study done on over inoculating and found that most dogs were protected for up to 8 years. When my girls reach three years after their last shot, I am going to have the titer test done instead just to see if they need anything. http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/front/1377004 http://dogs-cats-and-more.com/Vets_R...cinations.html |
I have worked at an animal hospital too and my vet also believes that after the initial boosters, shots should only be given every 3 years. She is the kind of vet who leans more on the natural side of medicine and believes that most vacc. last at least 5 + years.
