Don't give rabies on the same day as other vaccines. If your pup has had a one year DHPP booster, then the AAHA says you don't have to give it for three years. Or other studies show even less often is fine. Something that takes a lot of studying on the part of the owner. I'd be very concerned with the practicing style of a vet who decided all of those were necessary.
This is what I want to hear. Cause I really don't know. The flu shot I had already told last year I wasn't going to do and I see they have it my reminder card. The tech (not vet) and I got into an arugument about that one. She/He (tech) tried to tell me it would be mandantory in FL this year. I told her/him well when it becomes mandantory then I will see.

That tech, I could never figure out if it is he or she is no longer there.

So the DHLPP is not needed for three years?
