My little Yorkie I lost in Oct. died of cancer at 10 years of age. She was never around other dogs. Occasionally I took her walks but she had a very large enclosed patio and I would take her a walk in the yard on a leash since she was a runner and the yard is too big. BJ is pad trained since she didn't even weigh 2 lbs. and it is too cold to let her outside. My dogs are house dogs and they go with me in the car. If I go in a pet shop I carry them. I wonder if all these shots are necessary. I also was told she is too young (12 weeks) to get her rabies shot. They called and ssid she is due for another round of shots. |
Keep in mind that other dogs are not the only carriers of the diseases for which these vaccines protect against. Other animals are a concern, and humans can track things like parvo into or around your home.
I understand questioning the need for these vaccines. I don't fully understand. My previous dogs never had anything but rabies vaccs after they completed the puppy protocols.
