I have 4 cats and a dog and all of them have been automatically receiving the 3 year vaccine here in Ontario since 2002. That is all that's required in Ontario afaik but you have to prove once a year when you license them that their Rabies vaccination is up-to-date within the 3 year period. I don't believe the one year vaccination is available in Ontario anymore because everyone I know who has cats or dogs receives the 3 year vaccine.

However, there are other vaccines that are only good for 1 year and are recommended if you have more than one cat or dog. It would save Vlad a lot of stress if he only needed to be vaccinated every 3 years. Poor Vlad he must have had a bad experience at a vets for him to become so stressed. I hope the increased dose of Xanax works for him
