THERE IS TALK OF DOGS NOT NEEDING THE RABBIES VACCINE SO OFTEN, BUT INDIVIDUAL STATES MANDATE DIFFERENT YEARS SPACES BETWEEN VACCINATING AGAINST RABIES. IN RHODE ISLAND IT IS EVERY 2 YEARS. I MAY CONSIDER GETING A RABIES TITER ON THEM BEFORE NEXT TIME TO SEE IF THE TITER IS AT AN ADEQUATE LEVEL ... THAT WAY I CAN PROVE TO OUR TOWN THEIR IMMUNITY & PROTECTION IS STILL WORKING.
THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR REPLIES...

Did you mean yearly booster or Rabies given to often
the first year for rabies is for 1yr, the 2nd year is for 3yrs
Legally i think rabies Must be given in every state

There is talk about over vaccination of dogs and pups for the Distemper parvor lepto ect and they are offering titer tests for those in some vets hospitals not all
Proguard recommends 6weeks, 9weeks and 12weeks and thats it
after that then yes you would be over vaccinating, i dont spare shots on any pups they all get that, then we give boosters still once a year but are considering titer tests in the future ,our shot schedule has worked well for us and our clients, with no side effect thus far
