truth4dogs is a very informative site, I found it a while back, I find their info quite accurate...... This is a very good article...

I started reading about vaccines about 2 years oge, it just angered me what vets where doing to our pets.......The health problems created from adverse reactions is just the tip of the problem.....

Giving shots when a pup is too young is a huge problem. ,the answer is not to vaccinate earlier or more frequently, but to vaccinate scientifically. Earlier vaccination is clearly a doomed strategy. We have become so accustomed to giving parvo and distemper vaccines in "sets of three" that we think this is necessary. That is far from the truth. If we let a pup reach the age of 16 weeks or older before giving vaccines then just one parvo and one distemper would give protection, this alone would eliminate four unnecessary vaccines.

Vets that still give boosters when they know that boosters cause more harm than good is another problem ......In my opinion this malpractice, this is just plain wrong.......

I hope more people read about over vaccinating and the health problems they are causing in our pets so they can make better decisions for their pets, the info is out there they just have to take the time to look......Our pets are counting on us.......
