Love your comment.
Took my pit bull into vet for first check up. He is 3 and half. They pushed all vaccines under the sun.
The vet recommended, "flu vaccine, parvo, heartworm, then come back after a week for 2nd shot of rabies to build up immunity. After that, come back for third shot in a month."
I asked about Rabies once every three years as I have known from my other dog. Vet said due to the fact that this is a new dog, they need to do it this way for immunity.
When I said no, the vet told me most dog groomers and kennels will not accept the dog unless all of these vaccines have been documented.
Oh, and here is the clincher, if you need to board the dog with them at their facility, the dog needs to have a flu shot. No exception.
Flu shot in the summer. Even human recommended flu shot in the winter, not summer. What a joke.
