I'd find another vet, fast!

I recommend everyone do a lot of research on the dangers of over vaccination. Here are a few links that are informative about vaccinations.

Any vet giving shots year after year is just ignorant or out for $$$$.

I would find a new vet. But if you want to explain, I would kindly say you will still bring your pup in for a yearly check-up and bloodwork, but have no interest in getting any more vaccines year after year when it's not necessary and been proven to last 5+ years. You can even show how the AAHA recommends every 3-5 years. The only vax required by law in MD is rabies every 3yrs.
