I just called the vet to reschedule the puppies appts, and asked what each are coming in for, she said Augie is coming in for DPV & lepto. Abby is due for DPV, lepto & Rabies.

I'm peeved for a few reasons.

1. These 2 are siblings, same litter, why is 1 ready for Rabies but not the other?

2. Augie has already had 3 sets of DPV, why does he need another one, she said they get the DPV until they are 4mos or until their adult teeth are in. What??? what does teeth have to do with DPV?

3. I told her we changed our mind about the lepto, she used the scare tactics again, you know that that disease can spread from dog to human, they really need it. Bullcrap.

4. I told her we are going to wait on the rabies till they are 6mos old, she said "you can't put that one off", I asked why? she said, the city comes door to door looking for rabies paperwork, really? I've had Zeus for 5 years, the only time anyone asks for rabies paperwork is when i get his license from the city. and my mother had Buttons for 20 years, no one came door to door.

Needless to say, I was miffed.

So now I'm on the hunt for a new vet.

Anyone have any recommendations for the WNY area? around Buffalo and southtowns?
