Are you worried about what you're vaccinating your dog against? Do you simply trust your vet's judgment? We are strongly in favor of vaccinations for our dogs, but we want to always make sure that they're getting just the right amount of vaccinations according to the region they will be in, or the lifestyle that they live. If you found this video helpful, be sure to share it with your family or friends who have four-legged family members so they can make an informed decision about vaccinating their dogs!

There are no viruses whatsoever. Ask me about it. Illness is not contagious. Ask me about it.

[@lizardfishmanbearpig1818]

Im 58 years old. I have had 5 dogs in my adult life including my 6mo puppy. I will not be giving him any vaccinations. All of my dogs have lived on the high end or well beyond the expected range for their breed. None have had a single vaccine or health concern that required veterinary care. After my ex gave her 6mo puppy standard recommended vaccines he got incredibly ill for weeks. ever since he has the weakest stomach. Projectile diarrhea from eating any dog treat..or a dropped scrap of any people food. Everyone is free to make their choice. How i see it: dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years with no vaccines

[@vrrtvrrt5700]

Never vaccinate my dog he is 8 years and strong and happy. No sickness besides a few ear infections. Never even got worms. Makes me question these methods .

We have a 15 1/2 year old Chihuahua and after she had her first shot as a puppy that made her go bald around the injection-site I never went back. she runs around with the kids like she’s a teenager haha. We have 2 neighbors that lost there dogs last year and this year and were younger then mine and all had there shots. Sadly you can tell there health was poor along with the owner having to slow down for the dog. My dog used to run by them all happy it’s like she doesn’t know her age. To add she still jumps up onto the couch which is a little over 2 feet she does her little spin in the mornings and plays with kids in the day. We will miss her when that time comes.

@@Cosmicat01 I just got a Jack Russell Terrier puppy I think he is about a month old, should I get him vaccinated? Cause I mean a long time ago dogs weren't domesticated and they where fine with out vaccinations 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@thegrumpyhorticulturist]

My dog(chi dachshund mix) got his rabies vacc when he was a puppy and got into a scrap with a positive raccoon a few years back. He tested negative at ten years old. They gave him a booster just in case and he's going on 13. I'd say, get the first round when they're young, and another when they're middle aged. Should last them the rest of their lifetime.

[@maggiewagmore8778]

This advice amounts to gambling with a dog's health. In the case of rabies, it's a life or death gamble for both your dog AND you. Getting a rabies titer would be the prudent decision for anyone who doesn't want to vaccinate un-neccisarily. I don't believe in giving a dog a bunch of vaccines that may not be needed. My dogs have always had core vaccines, and a couple of "lifestyle" vaccines.

@@Boojyman ......VMD here.... depending on where you live rabies vaccines are required by law. The good thing is it’s given in 3 year intervals now. So the rabies I would get. The others such as parvovirus, distemper, bordatella are still up for discussion. Do u live in a rural or urban area? Do you board your pet often? Is your pet outdoors unsupervised ?

[@imthegrinchthatstolechrist4384]

Rabies vaccine lasts a lot longer than 3 years. Did you know that Vaccines add up to 14 percent of the average practice’s income? Veterinarians stand to lose big if we all knew how little we need to administer rabies shots.

[@derekd348]

Very true. Also, once a titer is performed after the 3rd round of vaccinations and it comes back clear, further 'annual' vaccinations are not necessary.

[@Anchor7]

[@jaimesestrada]

Thanks! My healthy 10yr old beagle died :( after getting the DHPP vaccine which is a combination vaccine that provides protection against canine distemper (D), infectious hepatitis/adenovirus (H) and parvovirus (P), as well as parainfluenza (P). After 2-3 days he was lethargic, had fever, no appetite and difficulty breathing we rushed to the vet but died within an hour. He had stopped breathing! What a shock and sorrow to loose a healthy and active dog in 4 days! Don’t over-vaccinate!

[@Strikeslip]

I think my vet mentioned that there is a lyme vaccine, which I'll be revisiting with her in a couple weeks now that lyme ticks have appeared in the Burlington ON area. I'll add this to the seasonal application of Advantix, I guess. Subbed to Dr. Alex, thanks!

[@McCannDogs]

There has been a real surge in the tick population in that area! Vaccinating against Lyme disease may become more popular as we see more cases in the area.

[@OurPetsHealth]

Happy to have you 😊! There are some great newer tick treatments that are very effective and might suit you better than Advantix (although this does still work OK) so you should chat to your vet about the most appropriate product for your dog too.

@Robbie Knight moron

[@kkakakkaka6617]

RockyRoc inc because you didn’t get the appropriate vaccinations for the first two years of its life of course the dog is going to react negatively. That’s like not vaccinating your child until they are 5. Their immune system adjusts at those early stages so when they’ve never had the shots before their immune system reacts badly and tries to expel the foreign medicine. In all honesty so I’m not beating around the bush with this, You are majorly at fault.

[@kkakakkaka6617]

Daughter of the Vinedresser please get them. I’ve had too many people come into our clinic and their dogs are never vaccinated and it puts all of our other clients and staff in danger. CVTs are trained to administer the appropriate amount of medicine whether your dog be 1 lb or 200 lbs

I watch these video's about vaccines and they say to consult your local vet. My local vet is the one pushing annualized vaccinations. The antibody test is the way to go. Its similar to a titre except that is a yes or no result. Yes protected or No not protected. The general titre test will give you a range of numbers that is difficult to comprehend.

I read Dr Pitcairn's book and one of the things he says is that one should never give more than one at a time b/c that is the way in which viruses are transmitted. Also after first year, there is no need to repeat except rabies but only b/c it is the law. Rabies is very rare in my area, but we are required to get it to get the license, but after one the dog usually is covered for 6 years of more, but they don't accept titers.
