What vaccinations do your dog(s) get?

The last animal to die in the UK of rabies was in 1922.

The last human to die in the UK of rabies caught here was in 1902.

All other cases are in quarantined animals or humans who were infected whilst abroad.

Considering that there are cases of rabies- even if in bats, this can even infect humans, and if a dog bites someone they are put down, I would give rabies. The others- well debateable in some ways- but not rabies.

Funnily enough, it hasn't infected humans or pets for over 70 years and hasn't been detected in any other wild animal either. It was unfortunate for that guy who just happened to work with bats and be a handler. I remember the case when it happened but experts at the time also said it was very unlikely to spread anywhere else and it hasn't done.

The infection the guy died of was described as a rabies like virus so I'm assuming it must be some different virus that is just similar to rabies.

I think that if the government or any experts thought that there was even a slight risk of pets here getting rabies, they would advise getting them vaccinated against it but they haven't which means they don't consider there to be any risk. I know the UK strives to retain it's rabies free status and it still holds this status despite the bats.
