I looked over Dr. Dodd's Vaccination Protocol & according to it, it seems like the typical pet gets A LOT more than they actually need. My breeder also gave me a book about this. So I'm just wondering how open your vets were to the idea.
My vet was a little skeptical. He hates online forums! He's seen the results of no vaccines and told me the story of a parvo outbreak where so many dogs died and in his opinion, the results of over vaccinating are not as clear as the results of under vaccinating. The only thing he mentioned was autoimmune disease, and I guess he doesn't see a lot of that. He's heard Dr. Dodd speak, and while he values her opinion, he doesn't think it's as clear as she seems to think, so I blamed Joey's breeder!
