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..
If your dog has had rabies as a pup then one year later, now you have to do it by law every two years...not every year. I would not do it every year if your state does not require it.

It sounds like you are unhappy with your vet. There are plenty of them to choose from, so why not just move on? No vet should try to intimidate and control. They should give their professional opinion and then give the owner space to choose.
