What shots SHOULD a dog have? Mine went in for puppy shots and also for shots before he got fixed. The vet has never recommended any more shots to me so I figured he is okay. He is NEVER boarded and does not go around strange dogs except when he goes to the vet every three months for his thyroid test.
I have never read any pros and cons on vaccinations but I always have this feeling that I just don't want to give him ANYTHING that he does not absolutely need. He is four now. Is there anything that any you feel he should get? He has not had rabies since he was about one BUT he is NEVER outside alone.
I know something freaky could happen like a rabid squirrel:yikes: could come in the yard and attack him with me there (I started thinking about this after I saw the scary rabid skunk video:lol-sign: ) but I'm still not sure he should go get a rabies shot.
We do have squirrels that come eat food out of our bird feeder.:yikes: What are your thoughts on this? Is he okay not getting anymore shots?

As Elegy said, Rabies is required by law. However, check with your local officials (State Health Department) and see if titers are acceptable in your state.
