Regarding the rabies vaccinations, here is Texas they require a vacc every 3 years. I know the vaccs are for life and my dog doesn't need another of any of them. He is a 4 year old rescued lab mix boy who has had before us, at least two rabies shots. He has already attacked the neighbor's dog when he accidentally got out of our fenced yard, so I know he has the capability to do it again. He would be impounded if no rabies record for at least 10 days, and if an owner was bitten somehow with a dog scuffle, who knows if they would sue us for medical damages and a rabies shot for them the human as well. It's like being in a trap. That's why I was looking for the recombinent shot, hoping it didn't have as much poison in it. And the others are right, if we take our dogs anywhere, including classes, they require and demand the shot records. I know their are others fighting to expand the 3 year requirements to at least 5 or 7 years. I just hope I live long enough to see Texas go along with it. The vets fight it here. They are still promoting yearly shots including rabies. ugh.
