Rabies, well, do what you want. If you've ever been around when an animal is being decapitated so that its head can be sent for testing, you'd go with the law and vaccinate unless there was a serious and valid medical reason not to.

Lepto and bordetella have to be given yearly (or more) to be effective. Doing them less often isn't an option. Of course skipping these two all together is possible. Do what you think is right. Bordetella is given here only if dog will go to daycare/groomer. Lepto is only given to bigger dogs or small dogs who are outside a lot.

My vets are by no means holistic. However, they do not drug animals for profit, thus they do their best not to over vaccinate.
