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.

I thank you for taking the time to learn. And, if Walker could talk, I'm sure he would thank you too!
