I have heard that it is safer to vaccinate the combo vaccines separately. However, our vet only has it in the combination form of DA2PPV, so that won't be likely. After the three puppy shots, I'll give them one year booster shot of DA2PPV (and maybe rabies?) as their last shot, and WILL NOT give any more vaccinations for the rest of their lives including rabies. I don't think my dogs will ever bite anyone, and I dont' get how anyone would find out whether my dogs are up to date on rabies and fine me for it. Any thoughts on this? |
Well, do you register your dogs with the city/county? I moved and plan to move again, so I really haven't looked into this for the area I'm in now. In my area animal control gives a rats behind about dogs, so they don't check up on who is and who is not registering their dogs, at least I think that's how they work. I've never actually seen them. But in areas like Torrance, CA close to where I plan to move to, Animal Control will fine anyone who isn't in compliance. That means having all pups up to date on all shots, including rabies. You need proof of that to get the license that the pup must wear at all times. And it's an ugly one too.
If you get fined, you have to go to court and I'm sure they'll ask for all your documentation and reasons towards not registering your dog.
