I agree with Brister. I do NOT vaccinate my dogs every year. I used to have titers done, which arent cheap!. One of my dogs levels for distemper was so high she didn't need another shot for 3 yrs!! So I made a decision, along with my vet, that the furkids would only get booster every 3 =4 yrs. We aren't vaccinated every year...why should our dogs be! Unfortunately Rabies vacs are mandated by the state or I would push those out too! As for the neutering. I just had Bentley done about 4 weeks ago. the total cost(no blood work done, had that done previously for another issue) and having 1 baby tooth pulled was 373.00...And my vet is on the expensive side. Sounds to me like your vet is looking to make some money off you...I know you said you haven't lived there long but do you know someone with pets that you could ask where they bring theirs? If not...I would call around and ditch the vet you have now. MO
