Nope.. Gizmo was really lethargic when he got it last year so i refuse to get it again. I also try and get his shots staggered... I don’t give him everything at once because it’s too overwhelming to his immune system. A book I read called Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for dogs and cats is a great book to read if you have the time. It talks about how it’s great if you can get single-disease vaccine done instead of multiple one such as DHLPP, Bordetella, Rabies, Lyme Disease, Brucellosis. Obviously it’s not cost effective for vets to carry single-disease vaccines so you have to find a vet that does carry them. He also suggests not getting annual boosters because there has never been scientific justification for yearly boosters. He actually advises against any further vaccinations after the initial series. When it comes time for Gizmos shots I will probably run a titer test and see what antibodies are present. Its more $ than just vaccinating but much safer.
