I hope it's okay to add my question onto Fran's, because I want to ask about the same/a similar vaccine.
I took Bowpi into the weekend clinic because she was due for her three-year DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza and Parvo). The clinic gave her a "5-in-1" (which they have labeled as DHP+Parvo, and does NOT include Lepto or Coronavirus) and recommended that it's only good for one year. I said that my vet and the vaccination schedules I was looking at recommend doing it once every 3 years for adults. The tech's response was that they use the exact same vaccines that vets use, but the clinic will only guarantee the vaccine for one year, so if something happens after that, it's on me.
We got the vaccine anyway, and I'll reconfirm the vaccination schedule with my vet when I go to consolidate the records. But I wanted to ping the forum for feedback. It should be okay to consider this shot good for 3 years, right? Weekend clinics are significantly cheaper for these routine vaccines, but it's such an assembly line system, they don't really care about giving thorough explanations…
