For Rabies - I have a way to get around it that I don't want to say publicly ...

Rabies is the worst, it effects the nervous system.
It can cause fear, aggression, and anxiety.
Because of the [rabies] shot Luka is afraid of pretty much everything now,
even our backyard. I think it caused Mandy's aggression too ...


I'm pretty sure all 50 of the US States, or in the case of Ohio - all the COUNTIES,
require Rabies Vaccinations; usually for dogs, cats, and ferrets.

The big rub comes if your dog is accused of *biting* a Human or another Pet -
You are then required to Prove your dog has a current Rabies Certificate -
which in Ohio must be signed by a licensed VET.
Without proof of the Rabies Vaccination - the law allows the Health Department to
order the biting dog quarantined and if suspected of being rabid, euthanised for testing for rabies.

Falsifying a Rabies Certificate - is probably a criminal act - I'd hate to accused
of doing that.

As for the Rabies Vaccination *CAUSING* "fear, aggression, and anxiety"
in a vaccinated dog - NEVER heard of that being a problem.

Long & Short of it - YOU can't be certain that your dog will "never" come in
contact with a RABID wild animal - thereby running the risk of being infected with Rebies.

Not worth the risk to me - even Boots, da INSIDE Kat, gets his Rabies Shot
every three years!
