No, I am not a vet, but I am definitely not in favor of annual vaccines as a pet owner. By law, some states and/or counties may require rabies every three years or so, but after the initial round as puppies your dog should be well immunized. There is a lot of controversy right now which you can research on the internet about the over-vaccination of our pets and how it can actaully cause harm to the animals from minor problems like allergies to more serious concerns like hydroencephalitis and cancer.
It is a personal choice but I would see if there is a homeopathic vet in your area and call them for a consultation to discuss it. You can also research the homeopathic vets online and the many articles that have been written on the subject.
Everyone has to decide what they are comfortable with but I would do some research before I made an appointment for any more vaccines. Even if you do decide to do more, usually a schedule of every three years is fine.
Good luck and if you need more info or help feel free to PM me as I would be happy to help. |
