Here in Portland there are so many dogs getting sick and dying of parvo all the time. It is really sad. I work at a livestock and pet supply place and I cant imagine what I must track home on my shoes! The breeders I got my girl from were very against bordatella and said that her parents had had a reaction to it. I was nervous but also knew that it was very important to me to socialize my dog and that my goal was to have her at show and in dog friendly public places - all which require the bordatella vaccine. We spaced out her vaccines and the vets were very supportive of my choice to do that. She was also given a benadryll injection prior to each vaccination. She had no reactions and is very healthy.
