Is there a vet in the house

Just had a letter from the vets saying our mutt is due for his annual booster, both the vets my lad and my daughter use say this is only required every 3 years.
The vet we use is renowned locally as a bit of a rip off merchant.
Anyone throw any light, looks like a change of vet is in order.
Cheers,
Bob

Get a vet that doesn't send reminders and take the dog when you want. Ours used to go every 3 years and were alright up to a ripe old age.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

We do ours every year, but we took out a Vac4Life with Vets4Pets so is free..

We have found that the prices vets charge varies tremendously...the vac4life was only slightly more expensive than our local vet wanted for 1 years' injection...

ETA - All our pets over the last 35 years have been vaccinated annually...

Mine has a booster every year. Kennels I use insist on seeing the cert before taking a dog in. Lad that works for me took his back after 3 years (because it was going in kennels) and had to have a full course over several weeks.

If you're a member on Pistonheads post the question inthe "All creatures..." forumsection. There's one vet and a vet nurse that regularly post there.
