I wish I did not have to get this shot for Buddy but I would feel horrible
and never live with myself if he were to get Lepto. If I lived in the city
he would not be getting this shot. Taking into consideration the area
where you live and checking with your vet as to any cases being reported
should help you in deciding to get it for your pet or not. |
i think more important calling around and checking with other vets and specialists in your area as some vets are lazy and old school and do not stay up on things and educate themselves and just keep vaccinating dogs yearly when it is needed only every 3 years or to titer. If your vet does not titer then they are not up on the latest technology as my dogs have been titered for 4 years now and still have their vaccinations in the system. These dogs are tiny and to keep pumping in vaccines that are unnecessary is not right in my opinion and just asking for trouble. My dd has hypothyroid and horrible allergies all which started after her original vaccinations. Breeder asked me not to vaccinate her but i did what vet said and what i felt safe - i think breeder knew her line had poor immune systems sadly and now for 5 years my dd has been a mess. I think get the orginal puppy vaccines then titer every time you have blood drawn i add the titer. I would rather spend the money on titering as more expensive than in paying for vet bills in an unhealthy dog and watching a dog suffer the side effects of it.
