Mine are vaccinated every six months so don't qualify :?
Penalises those owners who get their rabbits done every 6 months and at the times of the year best ie. March/April and September/October.
I know someone who doesnt get their bunny vaccinated every 6 months BECAUSE of these things! she says "Well they always bring out these sorts of things every year or so, and it saves me the money"
I don't qualify either (sadly) but can sort of see the point.... even though I'd love a discount. :lol::lol:
They're not aiming the scheme at us owners who already know the importance of vaccinating and do it regularly. It's designed to encourage those who wouldn't otherwise to do it.
There aren't any suggested vaccine dates from intervet for 6 mthly boosters though, only for if you vaccinate yearly.
But why not in March? Before the myxo season gets underway?
Yeah I must admit I don't know. I *think* they advise May/June at the best time to do it if you're only doing it yearly so maybe it stems from that but I agree it should be a bit earlier.
The scheme is for cats and dogs too, so the reason for it being in May could perhaps be something related to them? :?
I think 2 separate schemes would be nice - one to encourage people who don't vaccinate and another to reward people who already do.
