I've talked to my vet about this at great length, and his feeling is that the rabies vaccine is probably good for 5+ years. I know there are people that are working on getting laws changed, but my guess is that it will be state by state. I should get more involved and probably will. Larger dogs like mine are less likely to have adverse reactions but I love all dogs.

very interesting... that's good to have!

Hi there Alagu. A difficult one. Many people are frightened of thunderstorms with no real reason, and I guess the same with dogs. We had a monster thunderstorm here this morning and my dog slept through it, even though it woke the rest of the household. What "medications" have you tried? Do you, or any person in the house, tense when there is thunder around? You might find this ...

Thanks for compiling these articles K9. Only thing is that there are hardly any numbers on these. I really think that more attention is given to this because of the H1N1 scare...the media does have a way to make things bigger than they are...

Wow, thanks for the article K9. Really good to keep things like this in mind.
