I took my dog to the vet this week for a sr dog blood panel, annual check-up and I declined the vaccinations and on the invoice it lists the Rabies, DHLPP and Bordetella as separate line items with ‘DECLINED’. As soon as I saw that I thought who else is going to get this information. What is ridiculous is 2 of these shots are 3 year vaccinations but the vet gives them annually unless you know to direct otherwise. The dog was vaccinated in 2021 and is in compliance. Since I stopped the shots all his health issues disappeared. I have researched this and the only vaccine the state requires is rabies every 3 years. Who knows what they are doing with this data.
The city, county, and state. Your dog is immediately assumed to have rabies, by vets like this.
My oldest has declined after having his shots for last/this year, so has my 2nd youngest. She is the one that I worry about the most, as her decline has been the most marked. She was fine this time last year. This vet DEMANDS they get the rabies vax every year, as she assumes that if you don't, your dog has rabies. (She wants the $$$. Her office is very expensive.) I'm looking for a new vet.
I am with you! My husband took our Rottie in for his annual last May for heart worm medication really. The vet recommended multiple vaccines. He laughed and told them that “my wife made me promise to not get anything but the heart worm test/meds.” You only, really need the rabies vaxx if you continue to license your dog. I’m considering stopping that as well. 😒 He’s not aggressive. Hoping for the best! 🤞🏻
A 1/2 of teaspoon in the dogs drinking water… every time you refill it will prevent mosquitoes, ticks bugs from getting at your animal(s) I am not a vet or Dr. as a youth never believed the hype about the heat worm thing…
Done this with several of my pets and they have remained to old age 16/18/15 with little issues. Do your research… homeopathic vets are out there.

My dogs do need the borditella vaxx. They get groomed every few months and have gotten kennel cough at the groomer previously.

Half a teaspoon of what in their drinking water?
There is perhaps an undercurrent of moral obligation and financial bullying to that invoice.
Yourdog won't be allowed to work any more?
(Sorry not funny)
