Vaccinations for Your Pet

One of the hot topics in the veterinary industry right now is that of vaccinating our pets. Studies have show that the vacciantions last much longer in out pet's bodies than what we originally thought.

A study that is currently being conducted on this issue is called the Rabies Challenge Fund. The Rabies Challenge Fund Charitable Trust will determine the duration of immunity conveyed by rabies vaccines. The goal is to extend the required interval for rabies boosters to 5 and then to 7 years. Heading up this study is Dr. Ronald Schultz, Chairman of Pathobiology at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine.
