I need to correct myself. Check myself before I reck myself... :rofl:

Registering your Pet with the county is what is required by law here in Miami.
Im not sure about the actual Rabies vaccination. I will find that out when I make my visit ...

thanks !

In Miami-Dade county all dogs resident to the county needs to be licensed by 4 months of age. Licenses are only issued to dogs who have a current rabbies vaccination unless the dog is health compromised.

Just for the record I am not anti-vaccine completely. But it does appear that dogs are well protected after the puppy series and any subsequent vaccines should be given with much thought and by many veterianian standards not at all (look for integrative vet). Titer testing is a good way to know if your dog has anti-bodies.
If your dog appears to have "allergies", then he is suffering and you need to get to the bottom of it (as mine was, and I paid $1000's of dollars to a conventional dog allergest, had my dog on a steriod/antihistime drug for a year and a limited ingrediant diet) Nothing really worked.

If I were you (which I have been), I would make an appt with an "integrative vet" (a vet that practices BOTH conventional medicine and Holistic/Homeopathy) and just see what he/she has to say about the symptons and the rabies vaccine that you are coming due for.

To find out exactly what your states regulation is go here (Florida does have excemption):

WHOA!!! There's Holistic Vets now??? I DID NOT KNOW THAT!

[MENTION=3990]gracoliv[/MENTION], you are awesome.

My kids go to a holistic pediatrician and I tell you, her methods are super amazing. My firstborn son had 3 rounds of anti-biotics for ear infection by the time he's 7 months old. We moved to the holistic pediatrician and my 2nd son only had 2 anti-biotics rounds in his 8 years of life - once we he had 6 stitches on his eyebrow, next when he contacted pneumonia! Ear infection was a garlic/willow eardrop and some belladona!

So I am super excited to know there are holistic vets too!

Pennsylvania has this same law. And a $300 fine if you can not prove license and rabies vaccine. Over the summer, the Sheriff and dog license people went door to door requiring proof with in one week. Rabies is so rampant in Lancaster County, that every week raccoon's are found running around in circles during the day, and the game commission is called to come collect. Always found to be positive for the disease.


As for the grain free food, I have made a switch to TOTW Bison/Venison they love it ! and I love their :poo:

:ROFL:

We did acupuncture on our Rottie for 2 years before she died. It gave us 2 extra years with her and if not for bone cancer, I know she would still be with us. But with the acupuncture we were also using very cutting edge drugs. I miss her still every single day. :cry:
