Dog Vaccines Good Or Bad - Annual Dog Vaccinations
No one really knows for sure how much is too much of a good thing when it comes to vaccinating your dog. It seems to be the big drug companies that really want it to say "Your Pet NEEDS this vaccine, and it won't do ANY harm".
Most veterinarians vaccinate for too many things, too often. And the vaccines have caused problems in some pets. There is a growing body of evidence against the annual vaccination. Most veterinarians just choose to ignore the research because either they still feel the benefits of vaccines outweigh the risk or that they don't want to lose the income from giving booster shots to all those animals each year.
Vaccinations work by stimulating the immune system. The positive effect is to protect against infectious disease. But the negative effect can be the host of immune related diseases like immune mediated hemolytic anemia, immune mediated skin disease, vaccine induced skin cancer in cats, skin allergies, arthritis, leukemia, inflammatory bowel disease and neurological conditions.
It is more and more common to see cancer in dogs and cats under 5 years of age. Autoimmune diseases are on the rise as well. Our companions are suffering from generations of over-vaccination, which combined with inadequate nutrition, poor breeding practices and environmental stresses are leaving each generation more susceptible to congenital disorders and chronic disease.
Most veterinary schools are advising alternate vaccine protocols and newer research is showing that vaccine immunity lasts much longer than previously thought. In some cases a vaccine given at 1 year of age may provide lifelong immunity.
Vaccinations do help prevent serious illnesses, but they should be used with caution. Before vaccinating your pet, consider the risk. The decision about vaccinations is very individual and should be guided by your own research on the subject before you go to the veterinarian.
