Rules have tightened on vaccination and record keeping for transporting animals into CO, and for breeders, boarders, groomers in state. Can't say I'm opposed. It's a PITA, but it's not cool to expose people to rabies either.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT HOW TO VACCINATE A PET. Combo shots are given at the front RIGHT and low down on the limb, by the elbow. That's because there is a small but significant chance of a serious site reaction or even a cancer. Amputation may be required but will not work above the shoulder joint. Rabies shots are given at the back right, down by the knee for the same reasons.
New vaccine requirements will take effect Tuesday for Colorado shelters, groomers and boarders, nearly one year after a rabies outbreak involving a rescue.
