I think vets recommend yearly vaccines for all sorts of reasons.

Some do want the money (they aren't going to talk too many clients into titers - they can barely talk them into heartworm testing - and yes, I'm serious about that - not all clients are excited to spend money on labs - but they know that "shots" are "needed").

Some do it out of fear of disease.

Some really just want to get the animal in for an exam. I know with some of my family, they wouldn't go in if they were told that an exam was needed, but they will go in for "shots".

And some work for a boss (head vet) that tells them what they need to recommend.

By now, vets should know better. I'd have a hard time going to one that won't support at least the AAHA protocol. I'd wonder where else they are behind the times.

Some vets are very concerned about their wages and others are not. If a vet was insisting that my dogs get DHP yearly, I would not allow said vet to touch them.
