AGREE WITH ABOVE!!!
I would just tell my vet I would rather go by the AAHA recommendation for core vaccines, every 3 years....and quite possibly, at the end of 3 years, the AAHA may be recommending 5 years or longer....random studies have shown these vaccnes provide 7years or longer....there have been some studies that have shown they provide protection for "the lifetime of the dog". If you get flack from the vet, which you might because over 50% of their income is based on vaccinations and many are reluctant to let go of annual vaccinations, have them check titers....if the dogs is showing titers are good, then you have just proven your point, and there is no need to revaccinate at that time. And YES!!! they give the SAME vaccine, SAME amount, to a 4# dog that they give that Great Dane out in the waiting room!!!
