Yup, DAP every 3 years (generally).
Rabies every 3 Jyears (usually).
Lepto, bordatella, and lyme yearly (but 3 non-core vaccines is a ton).

No way should all of these be given on the same day. However, if you split them all up, that is 5 vet trips. IMO, 5 vet trips for vaccines is really extreme. Any vet would have the right to get frustrated if asked to do it this way. If they don't charge you for an office call everytime, then they have to keep losing their tech for this. Next year it will be better bc just the non-core would be needed. JMHO, I would try to eliminate at least one non-core vaccine from her life. I'd also split them up, but I'd be willing to give more than one per visit.

It might be better to give them all separately, but so many vets still give them together and aren't having problems with it. Not suggesting that you should do like some do and give them all at once, but there is probably a more middle of the road approach, esp. with so many non-cores to fit in.
