Has anyone else's Vet told them this? None of my babies have had problems with their vaccinations ever, but I would be afraid to get a lower dose and they not be covered. |
It doesn't have to do with the size of the dog but what it takes to create immunity. Now the rabies is supposedly way more powerful than it needs to be, so you might get away with giving less but as a general rule the whole thing should be given in my opinion.
