My dog’s rabies vax was technically “due” in January (he last had a 3 year one in Jan. 2018- along with6 others- grrrr) He has ear inflammation, a benign bump on his rear (perianal adenoma) and occasional GI issues. In light of this, I have yet to get him revaccinated. He’s 9 years old and only goes out with me on leashed walks and has no contact with rabies vectors.

But he’s overdue to be groomed and I’m having a hell of a time finding a groomer who will do him without that vaccine that could do him great harm. One groomer actually agreed and then changed her mind. Even though I volunteered to get him titered. So now have to find another. Hopefully. Hopefully I will. Aren’t there any who understand that immunity doesn’t magically expire on the due by date?

Right on, Laini, and that's true for vet techs and front office staff in every vet clinic in the Western world. Any vet who claims to only serve those clients who are "current" on rabies vaccines "for the safety of our staff" is blowing smoke.
