I am sure that in many cases, people want to do their own vax for financial reasons.
But also I think that it is important to keep in mind---
in some some cases, people sometimes consider giving their own vax because they live in a rural or isolated area & taking a lot of animals to a vet to be checked & inoculated would be extremity difficult.
Because inoculating animals ourselves may be dangerous to their health, a farm/ranch vet might be an option for those people.
One of my daughters has a ranch with horses, cats, dogs, goats and other assorted animals.
A vet, who specializes in ranch animals, does their inoculations and check-ups.
If one of their cats or dogs, become ill, they are taken to a small animal vet in town.
Because pet care is expensive, it must be included in our budgets, including how to pay for emergencies, which always happen at the most inconvenient times.
That seems to be a universal law.
