Vaccines (Yes or No?) "http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Truth-About-Dog-Vaccinations" The above article should shed some light for people who want to learn what you are really putting into your dogs! I have spent over $800.00 in blood work to follow the rabies vaccine in Alice. It is scary to see her body destroying itself from inside out to say the least. I could not imagine what would have happened to her should I have blindly given her annual vaccines as well during the same vet visit. The rabies vaccine is required by State Law, but you can request a letter from your vet declining the shot. Do you really think your dog needs the vaccines? That is for you to decide. There has been published reports stating some vaccines are good up to 7 or even 11 years after the first shot was given. I have personally decided not to give any more rabies vaccines to anyone of my animals. Regarding the annual vaccines, I pay for a Titer. A Titer is the drawing of blood to test for the level of antibodies inside of the animal for a certain vaccine. On October 9, 2010 all 4 of my Doxies were Titered and the results were that not a single Doxie required a vaccine injection. This makes 3 years in a row that Alice did not require an annual booster vaccine since her puppy vaccine rounds. Again she did get the rabies vaccine, but I'll be damned if I go through this again. Please read the above article to understand what your vet isn't telling you and the pharmaceutical companies hide from us animal owners.... Who so lovingly do what we think is in the best interest of our animal's health through these professionals. Posted by 2.0paradox - December 8, 2010 at 10:02 am
