I think a lot of it comes down to personal choice. It's about $100/year for her annual physical, vaccinations etc, so it's not exactly a bank buster. Plus, since the US is not rabies-free, we have to go every year at least to have her vaccinated against rabies. While we're at it we might as well have her looked over too!
