All I can say is most of my life only dogs got shots. They got their puppy shots and then they got just one rabies shot later. There was no such thing as “booster” shots. And I don’t remember dogs or cats ever getting sick much at all.
Tell you what though, We just went through a vet experience I would want to put anyone through. Crooked greedy money hungry vet set us up and ran us through the wringer on purpose. So they are in fact out there.
There are good veterinarians and there are hacks, just as in any profession. Watch how he or she interacts with your dog and if it’s not good then leave, go find a good one who gives a damn and to whom your dog reacts positively, that’s the best suggestion I can make. Dogs are exceedingly good judges of character and that extends to veterinarians.

Then science progressed and we figured out ways that are less stressful to them and gives more reliable coverage. Yeah, boosters.
