Vaccinations

When was the last time you got a pertussis vaccination? Or a hepatitis vaccination? Not every year, right? It's probably been decades. That is because vaccinations offer long-lasting protection - your body creates an immune response to the vaccination and thus you have protection from that disease.

The same thing happens in dogs and cats - but the veterinary industry pushes for yearly vaccinations because... well... why else? Money.

Once your dog is vaccinated you can either do a titer test to determine the antibody levels in their bloodstream OR vaccinate every 3 years. CSU Veterinary School has changed their recommendations to every 3 years OR draw a titer test. 

Here is Dr. Jean Dodd's canine vaccine protocol (which is almost identical to CSU guidelines):

Dr. Keeney is one vet who does not over vaccinate and advocates for titers:  http://eastwestvethousecalls.com/

Here are some great articles on vaccinations and over-vaccinating:  http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/13_8/features/Annual-Pet-Vaccinations_20036-1.html
Here is a good  article on the danger of a lethal dose of vaccines:  http://www.nbclosangeles.com/investigations/Needless-Vaccinations-Could-Cost-You-and-Your-Pet-326530921.html?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=facebook_page&utm_medium=Dogs%20Naturally%20Magazine _
