"New" Feline Rabies Vaccine?

[Taz_Zoee]

Taz just got his shots last night and I noticed on my receipt he got the Purevax. I didn't realize they were now using a one year rabies shot. I would have thought if I had a choice they would have asked me. If I can remember in a year, I will ask about the three year shot instead.

*Edit to add: The rabies (Purevax) shot Taz got last night only cost $18.48.

I've always gotten the longer-lasting ones for my cats.. then last summer my Sydney did develop a fibrosarcoma. Fortunately a surgical specialist was able to remove it completely.

But after that happened, mine get the one-year kind. (I'm not even sure about getting them rabies shots at all any more, after Sydney's tumor, since they are strictly inside cats.)

I am going to have to ask my vet about this Purevax. Ever since Panther died because of the fibrosarcoma I have been very hesitant about getting rabies shots for my two other fur babies and they are due soon too.
