I KNOW THAT THE RABIES VACC. HAS TO BE GIVEN EVERY 2-3 YEARS ..MY CONCERN IS THAT TITER LEVELS AFTER 2-3-4 YEARS HAS BEEN STUDIED, AND THEY ARE FINDING OUT THAT THE RABIES TITER IS STAYING AT PROTECTIVE LEVELS LONGER & THE NEED TO REVACCINATE SO OFTEN ISNT AS NECCESSARY ....
BUT CHANGE IS HARD...

BUT THE TEST TO DEFINE TITER LEVELS IS EXPENSIVE SO TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY DOG IS VACCINATED STATES LIKE RHODE ISLAND IS EVERY 2 YEARS. I THINK SOME STATES REQUIRE EVERY 3 YEARS WHICH IS NICE TO SEE...
THERE IS AN INTERRESTING ARTICLE ON RECOMMENDED VACCINE SCHEDULES IN THE NOV 2006 ISSUE OF :
THE WHOLE DOG JOURNAL ..THIS IS A WONDERFUL JOURNAL DEDICATED TO NATURAL DOG CARE & TRAINING..
