Can you switch vets? Is there a vet in your area that takes a more holistic or minimalistic approach in their practice?

Depending on where you live you may be fine with no preventative such as Revolution. Many people who take a more holistic approach to their dog's care never use these products and never have any issues. Garlic and certain essential oils can be a great pest deterrent and are not harmful to your dog.

Regarding the rabies shot, depending on your local laws and your vet, your vet may be able to write you a note excusing your dog from the rabies shot due to medical issues. You're absolutely correct, sick dogs or ones with compromised health should not be vaccinated. Alternatively you can look into doing titers and using that in lieu of the vaccine but that can be fairly expensive.
