Initial vaccines ARE important. I am definitely not saying "no vaccines ever". Just that OVER-vaccinating is a very common problem. I'm sure it varies country-by-country. I do not know what is followed in Italy.
Yearly vaccines are no longer recommended by the AAHA. The latest scientific research proves that after the first course of injections as a puppy most dogs are immune against these diseases for at
least seven years, if not for life. I don't see why anyone would think vaccinating every year is necessary in any shape or form.

But your dog is not ANY more protected getting vaccines every year than if they got them every 3 years for example. Because it's the SAME exact vaccine. There is no difference between "1 year" or "3 year" or whatever. So getting your dogs vaccinated every year is not protecting them in any way and all you are doing is adding unnecessary chemicals into their body year after year.
The thing is, a lot of vets don't want to give up that money they get from yearly vaccines. Let's face it - most dog owners wouldn't want to fork up the dough to get titers and a majority of people ONLY take their dogs to the vet when they need vaccines. It's a HUGE money maker for them. Of course a lot are going to continue recommending yearly. Now, an owner like me, I'll be at the vet at least once a year anyways for annual check-ups, bloodwork, etc so they'll still get their money from me. But an average owner... does not do this.

Rabies is required by law every 3 years here so we do that to abide the law. I like doing DHP as a pup (8 weeks, 12 weeks, 15 weeks) and then boostering at one year old for us personally. I like to follow
Dr. Dodd's protocol.
I've had bad luck with vaccines as well. Jackson was VERY ill following a lepto shot, never again. And he's always gotten kennel cough after every bordatella vaccine or something like it. We will never again be getting that, the last one was the last straw.
Good luck in whatever you decide and in your research
Btw, Royal Canin is a good choice.
