"Noncore vaccinations should be administered whenever the risk of the disease is significant enough to override any risk of vaccination. For example, kennel cough vaccine may need to be administered up to every six months in a dog repeatedly being kenneled or exposed to groups of dogs at grooming salons or dog shows."

So, in your case, it's probably worth the risk of vaccination, ya know?
Thanks - you know I am always thinking of what I am giving them and putting on them. But than again I would hate not to give it to them and have something happen to them health wise....you know? It is so hard to know what is best for our babies. I tried the no flea stuff for a while and than they were COVERED in fleas and ticks....tried almost all the natural approaches too and nothing seemed to work for this hot Florida weather I have them in. I know what your saying now ..... I was just wondering if I should reconsider what I am doing with them since I really try not to give them EVERYTHING my Vet mentions...you know?

Thanks again!
