That's good *S*

Just an interesting tidbit for you. Did you know that the one year and the three year rabbies vaccine are one and the same? They just have different labels.

I would never get the bortadella vaccine for my dogs, but that's just me. There are many strains of kennel cough and the vaccine only protects against a few of them. Kennel cough is only dangerous to the very old, and the very young. Basically it is like us getting a cold. A few days of antibiotics and we're back to normal. I've known just as many dogs that have recieved the bortadella vaccine and come down with kennel cough as I know dogs that have never received the vaccine and have never come down with it.

This year I got my dogs titered for their parvo and distemper. Their levels were very high for both. Next year I'll get them titered for rabies. I imagine they'll have high levels for that as well. Irregardless they won't be getting anymore vaccines
