vaccines, a 1 yr and 3 yr. There are many companies that make rabies
vaccines as well. I don't know if there has been research on the
effectiveness of the different companies vaccines though.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#800000 size=4 face=Baltimore>It is my understanding that the 1
year and 3 year rabies vaccine is the same. The labeling is the same for
both. It is the local / state laws which dictate 1 or 3 year
boosters. And there has been a Rabie Challenge Test going on for
awhile now to prove that the vaccine lasts 5 years at a minimum.
Rabies vaccine is very hard on dogs. Hopefully the Challenge test research
will convince all states to go to at least a 3 year cycle.</FONT></DIV>
