There is new information out there. Vets need to change their way of thinking.
It appears to me like there are now more risks from over vaccinating than from not vaccinating every year. and for dogs who are kept at home and not exposed to other dogs, chances are very slim that they will be exposed to any diseases.
Bordatella is not even life threatening in most healthy dogs. So unless you are required to get the vaccine, why would you do it. |
Vets HAVE changed. The new recommendations are every three years as opposed to every year. Now, in saying that, I realize that some vets do not keep up with continuing education and what/not; but there have been changes.
My vet does not recommend them every year as you are saying. It is every three years.
I must be brain dead as I do not understand what you are saying in your second to last paragraph. I think you are saying there are more risks from over vaccinating...but compared to what? And, where are those stats? I would like to see the numbers.
