As far as vaccination goes, this is *one* area where we have the privilege of good research and proof as to what is best for a dog's immune system. The fact is, other dogs' LIVES have been sacrificed in order for us and our dogs to benefit from this knowledge.

If for no other reason, my hope is that people stay up to date about vaccine standards out of respect for these dogs, whose lives were sacrificed for the sake of research.

Sorry, I had to say it.
