Same script as the kids. Annual boosters. “Just in case.” No discussion of how many the animal actually needs. Cats get injection-site sarcomas .. aggressive tumours that grow where the needle went in. Vets have known about that for decades. Allergic shock after a shot is not rare. Dogs pick up autoimmune flares, skin wreckage and mystery illness after a “routine” visit and it gets written off as coincidence. Then they wonder why the waiting room is full of cancer, allergies and animals that never bounce back. Rabies where the law demands it is one conversation. A lifetime of extra boosters because the reminder card showed up is another. Read the insert. Ask how often that shot is even required. Stop treating the pet like a second customer for the same product line.
