Tomorrow I am taking two of my furbabies to the Vet. One is getting a whole bout of teeth removed. The other is getting her last puppy shot which is to also include Bordetella. Although my other two have already had this vaccination (which were received BEFORE I was their Mommy) and I know that as with all shots, it is to build up the immune system - But, I'm wondering is it really necessary? My three NEVER are boarded or even have exposure to puppy parks or anything of the sorts. So, my Vet is leaving the decision up to me. In trying to be the best Mommy that I can be and with the big to do lately regarding over vaccinating, I'm really having second thoughts. So, I'm asking your thoughts on should I authorize this one vaccination that is optional, or shouldn't I? I thank you in advance for ANY and ALL responses.
