I asked the vet about not giving it to yorkies and she said all small dogs are at risk for a reaction but she still recommends it because the benefits outweigh the risks.
Such a hard decision... |
It is an extremely difficult decision, but I don't think anyone on YT should say to give it or not give it. It is a very individual thing depending on the living situation and lifestyle. I will say for most toy breeds in most areas, it may not be a good idea and the vaccine has killed Yorkies before. At the same time, the disease is serious and is a very real problem in some areas of the country. It's something that everyone needs to do their own research for.
