i also know for a fact that a dog can and will get parvo if not vaccinated..and i would think thats how is transferred. by people NOT vaccinating and spreading the diseases that way and the ones that arent protected will be the ones suffering.
i have never had to deal with an illness or reaction
i know working for a rescue we had some young terriers with parvo..thats not something to play around with and taking chances on..so i will keep with protecting my pets..i dont think its necessary to give it yearly once older..but definitely every other year
i also know a person who brought home a new puppy and she stated she had been vaccinated (lbreeder lied) and the puppy got parvo..she survived but it was costly and there was the fear of her other pets being in jeopardy . she couldnt have any more puppies for some time if she wanted one..she had to bleach the entire home..and thats time consuming and not to mention the heart ache and fear of losing her pet because she wasnt vaccinate and hadnt built up enough of an immune system
the idea of not vaccinating sounds like a breeding ground for parvo...

Nobody in this thread is saying
not to vaccinate. It is VERY important to get your pups protected.
In fact most folks don't even take their puppies outdoors until their shots are completed on this site. My vet informed me it was okay to take Jackson outside after his 2nd puppy shot at 12 weeks old but only in our backyard.
All of us are trying to say, YES... get the puppy shots up until 15-16 weeks or so, then get rabies. Then at 1 year old get all those shots again!

People need to learn to speak up for themselves, anytime the vet asks to remove their animal from the room they need to ask WHY the procedure cant be done in the room.
Vaccination Reactions are very common... every owner should know the EXACT spot of the vaccine so they can keep an eye on it after. |
Me too. I have NEVER taken a dog to the vet and had my pup taken away from me for shots.

This research is not new. Where are you getting that it's "new"? |
