As for not needing vaccines, I agree there is such a thing as over vaccination but these vaccines are very necessary. The thought of one of my pups contracting distemper makes me sick. Vaccines and titers are not done for vets to make money. These illnesses are very real and a threat just like human illnesses are a threat and require immunization. There are some vets who may do it for money...to keep people coming in, but we all need to seek out those vets who are in the business for all of the right reasons.

As for the rabies thing, you are lucky you don't live in an area that requires them every year! It varies from state to state and also town to town.
If they don't get their vaccine within a certain time (once they are due) then they have to have another one the next year....when they get their first vaccine they need another the next year...after that it's every 3 yrs.....
