As I'm about to get Walker "updated" on his shots, it's an eye opener to me reading all of this! I guess, I'll have to do some research in the next few days and I totally agree: the vets just push all this stuff on us, because they want to make money and they'll make us feel like we don't take the best care of our dogs, if we don't get them vaccinated every year. I do believe, most of those shots are unnecessary, depending on your dogs life style and based on where you live. Lymes disease is a big concern, even with people in my area. I won't skip that one. Rabies is the law and not annually required. Fine with that. The 5-way, that is now a 7-way at my old vet, is overkill in my book. That's why he's my old vet. This year, I'm trying somebody new. We'll see how this goes. This is a very helpful thread! Thanks for bringing it up.
