Greetings fellow cat lovers!
I live in New York state, and was told by multiple vets that New York state law requires rabies vaccination-- even regarding my cat who is strictly indoors.
From my research and after speaking with vets, I need to get a non-adjuvent rabies vaccination and there is availability of this vaccine in every 3 years or 1 year.
I keep hearing conflicting things are yearly rabies vaccine is not recommended for cats because it is too much to be stuck yearly vs. every 3 years. But, then, I will hear that every 3 years is not good because the dosage is high and higher chance for a negative reaction.
The cost for a three year is actually cheaper than annually based on the vets that I am seeing.
So, this is my question: Do you get your cat rabies vaccine yearly or every 3 years, and why so?
Very curious and in need of your experiences so I can best narrow down the best vet and options for my little Ricky kitty boy who is actually due for his rabies vaccine next month! Oh, and, Ricky has already had his first rabies vaccine in May 2017, so this is why I am not sure if I should go for yearly or every three years.
Thank you so much!
