I have to agree with everyone else, Dr Foster & Smith is pretty pricey. Although I do use them for buying Frontline. Usually they are the cheapest for me.

Here is a link to the latest protocols. My cats are inside only, they get their distemper boosters every 3 yrs and rabies vax annually because Purevax Rabies vax is only available in annual boosters. I don't do my own vaccinations, 2 of my cats have had allergic reactions to vaccinations. We need a vet to administer antihistamines before they get their distemper shot.
