Here is a website with AAHA vaccination guidelines.

Please tulip before you make any decision you need to really research and fully understand vaccinations. I am a person who does believe we are over vaccinating our dogs but some vaccinations are critical for the over all health of the dogs. I have seen too many dogs die because people would not spend the $$$ to vaccinate their animals. There is a lot of great information out on the web and in order for you to make an informed choice you need to read both sides of the story.

Please understand if you chose to not vaccinate your dog then your dog should not be out in public, go to parks or walk on the sidewalks where other dogs are so your little one does not come in contact with these diseases. Also if you live in an area with mosquito's then you run a high chance of heartworms which will also kill your dog.

I agree with Kalina 82 and follow the same protocol she is doing. I also agree that many vets use vaccinations as income producing so I made sure I made my own choices based on my research.

Wylie's Mom - In Tucson the titer tests were around $300 but I am sure if you check with your vet you will get another answer. The vets are all over the map on costs for dogs in Arizona.
