Why on earth would you NOT want to get the rabies vaccine for your dogs? Rabies is fatal 99.9% of the time and rabies is very widespread in NY and in New England. Why take the chance?

I know where my dogs are at all times and what they come in contact with. Dont bash me for the way i feel. If it means lulu can get into agility/flyball i will do it. Thanks everyone for the info.

I'm not bashing, I'm just puzzled...as I've never met anyone that doesn't get rabies for their healthy dogs.

I know a couple of people who don't vaccinate their dogs for anything. Do livestock get rabies shots?

We just went through this with a stray cat, acting neurological that bit someone.
Here, we don't even have to see neurological symptoms to euth or quarantine the dog (or cat). If the animal bites someone and you cannot prove rabies vaccination, the animal is confiscated by Animal Control. If the dog or cat is a stray, they're more likely euthanized because most places lack the resources to quarantine a stray with a bite history for six or more months.

Is this a rhetorical question? Because I'm not sure how to read it haha
But I know with the last cat we had we had to behead it and send it to a lab. I'm assuming they took samples from the brain?
