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..  |
A rabies vaccine at a clinic is just as good as one from your vet. In fact, my vet up in New York used to do rabies clinics and would tell his patients when he was doing one so we could bring our pets and get them done for a lot less.
You should have gotten a little tag and a certificate when Kenna had her shot at the clinic. It is your proof that she got the three year vaccination.
New York law states that all dogs must have a rabies vaccination at four months, then a one year booster, and then be revaccinated every three years.
