Sorry I should have said the teter for the yearly shots not the rabie.
I find it strange that NYS has changed their policy regarding 3yr rabie
shot. All my dogs in the past were never given the rabie shot until
the three yr experation date. NY will do anything to make a buck!
If the three yr shot is good enough for other states than it should
be good enough for NY. You can't help but wonder if it is about
money.
