Thank you. I work at an Animal Hospital. There are 1 year vaccines and 3 year vaccines. I have helped treat puppies with Parvo and have also watched them die because people would not vaccinate (or did not know ) to vaccinate their beloved pets. What the heck is the problem here? Find a vet that is reasonable and go to him/her for the shots. If you need something MAJOR, call around and find someone with a reputation for the broken bones, swallowed socks, intusseceptions, foreign bodies, inguinal hernies, splenectomies, mast cell tumor removals, RACL's and other knee problems, etc. Get a clue here and treat your pets like they're your kids (which I'm sure you do). Sorry to ramble on but I am serioys about pet care.!!!
