During an appointment for our dog or cat (I don’t remember which pet it was) at the vet a few years ago, the veterinarian said, “He’s due for his rabies shot,” and we could see how nervous she was. We said yes, do it, and she relaxed immediately.
She said that she’s had some people who had gone off on her about vaccines when she recommended them.
It is amazing how so many people just assume so many things are just made up because they haven’t ever experienced them personally. If their dog gets rabies and gives it to them they are likely to be a dead person walking before they realize how stupid that choice was.
To say nothing of the people that just seem to think things like Measles, Mumps, and Rubella were just apparently no big deal and the MMR vaccine only exists to put microchips in their kids or some nonsense. It is hard to believe so few people have even a passing familiarity with historical things that were everyday life as recently as when their grandparents and maybe parents were kids.
I really don’t get that attitude presumably you have a pet because you like them. You want them to be healthy, kids, meh, whatever, but my cat getting all her shots.
Oh yes!

My wife made a joke about not wanting our dummy cat to have autism to each other, and we noticed a vet start to get real angry.
Tried to explain it was a joke but she was already annoyed at us.
