Vaccinations required for therapy work

[Cinder & Smoke]

My vet thinks it's ludicrous,
she often signs papers saying that the dog has been vaccinated for everything
because she knows it's ridiculous ...

Lying under the color of a Vet's License is NOT something I'd be proud to do;
nor have my Vet do!

If she lies about vaccinations - what ELSE does she lie & cheat about?

In my area a dog must have a current rabies vaccine (state law) to do therapy work. As far as other vaccines go, it varies depending on the facility. Some require them to have all their vaccines & some do not.
I am not sure how it is up there, I am sure it is different than the states.

It's great of your vet to do that for you. I am still having a hard time finding a vet that is knowledgable AND supportive or limited vaccines AND a raw diet.

I had 2 cats that were Delta Society Therapy cats for years. If Delta has not changed their regulations, they accepted a 3 year rabies shot and the regular annual distemper. One of the therapy cats had several bad reactions to the distemper, so they did accept the homeopathic nosodes. Maybe you should see if your dog could be a Delta therapy dog. Tell them Spunky and Ralph(Lifetime Achievement: Therapy Cats of the Year, 1995) sent you!! Good luck!
