Pet vaccination commentary.

This was a feature story on the NBC 4 television in LA website. It is and article about vaccinating our pets. You can access this story at Vaccinating Pets Could Do More Harm Than Good I have been hearing more about this issue recently. I understand that vaccinating your pet against rabies and distemper are important. Those diseases are very serious and contracting them as well as the parvo virus can be a matter of life or death to your dog.

Just like people every pet is different. Some pets have these vaccinations with no ill effects at all while others bodies cannot tolerate the vaccination. I would be interested in knowing if there are any conclusive studies on this matter. If vaccinating your pet every couple of years is an option I would be interested in that. I can see how overloading a pets system with these vaccines could be harmful. If you know of any valid studies that show real results please make a comment so that other readers of this blog can benefit from your knowledge. Pet welfare is a top priority to most pet lovers and having more concrete information on this subject would be very helpful.
