Do you vaccinate your dog/dogs?

[Relayer]

Well of course it's important... to vaccinate your dog!! Duh!! Education is a marvelous thing.

But over-vaccination is not marvelous...education is key, for sure.

Education is best, but I'd also rather see over vaccination in ignorance. Just saying.

Jane.. thanks

I keep Cullen vaccinated against Bordatella because we will be going to shows, competitions, etc.. along with schutzhund training, though they don't require it.. but Giz... well she lives on her bed or sprawled on the floor. She has gotten old, and though she gets SUPER excited when she hears WALK or sees a leash... about 6 or so houses down, she is tired and wants to turn back.. so we don't really take her too many places

Riley will only get Rabies from here on out but I had a schedule that I worked with my vet did she was fresh out of school and it went like this.
Puppy shots 3 weeks apart for 3 sets
booster at 1 year
booster at 3 years
booster at 5 years
then no more but rabies because of law

I trust my vet. I know she does't try to sell me any bull$#^@. So... whatever she recommends

DHPP, Bordatella and Rabies. Rabies are now once every three years, everything else once a year.

With all due respect..........I did too. Then we found a lump on my 7 year olds hind leg in 8 weeks it went from a walnut to a cantaloupe, yes cancer we lost her way to early! Most likely from the yearly vaccines. I think we all need to question what were doing to our pets. I don't blame the Vets I truely believe there doing what they think is the right thing. My question is is it right for my pet?

i really do not want to vax my dogs again for rabies after puppyhood. its so bad for their bodies and bones it makes me sad to know that i have to by law give them something unhealthy.

Its not that bad, you just have to be cautious and careful about it. I would rather my dogs be vaccinated against rabies because if they scratched or bit someone they would automatically be put down because they don't have the vaccination.(That of course varies by state.)

My dogs get their rabies vaccination when we get our reminder in the mail.
