I've been reading through the forum & there seems to be many different opinions regarding rabies.

Should I let the Vet do what he thinks is best? I'm honestly not sure. Every time I go or call with my concerns, he's very intimidating and gives good arguments on why he's right.

I love my baby, but the whole Vet experience is the only thing I hate about having a dog..



I see your in NY also.
My vet told me last year that Buddy needed another rabie shot even
though he had the three year one and still had another yr to go. He stated that
NYS requires vet's to give it every two years instead of three even tho
the vaccine is good for three yrs. If your pup just had the 3 yr shot
and the vet wants to give it to him again after only one year I would
not accept that. That's crazy.
