So I'm just wondering how open your vets were to the idea. |
Our vet's office promotes annual vaccinations, so I was nervous bringing up the subject with our doctor. I barely completed the first sentence when the doctor said, "The 3 year plan is fine." I am a little bit concerned that our doctor assumes my boys are essentially indoor, never touch the floor type dogs, no matter what I try to say about being outdoors and going places.

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! |
No vaccines, or insufficient vaccines? How often do you give your boys the DHPP?
