Default Vaccinations & Tests; what's neccessary, what isnt?

Hello, I have two 3.5 lbs females, 9 years old. They are indoor dogs due to coyotes, hawks, etc. in my area. Plus, they don't really enjoy being outside. We live in Texas. They hardly ever get boarded, and travel with me just about everywhere I go.

My questions is, based on the background information above, what shots, vaccinations, etc. should I give them, and what is unnecessary?

For example, I think bordetella is unnecessary unless they are being boarded or play with other dogs (I make sure their bordetella is up to date on the rare occation that they are boarded. They play with each other, not other dogs).

Anything else unnecessary that I can cut out?

Currently we do:
Rabies -3 year vaccine
Heartworm test - yearly
Annual exam- yearly
fecal matter test? - yearly
Dentals - yearly
Frontline- every other month
Heartworm pill - every month
Bordetella - as needed

Thanks!
