that is so true, most vets only give the yearlies in order to get you to return every year. Same with the fact that most clinics us the 3 year rabies vax but still tell you to come in every year. They do this, not for the money (as vaxing is very low cost for vets) but because if they don't tell you to come in every year, then you won't bring them in for well checks. Same as kids, the vaccine schedule for pets is so the docs can see your child/pet
