Having your pet vaccinated is one of the most worthwhile things you can do for your pet. Vaccinations provide some reassurance that they won’t pick up anything nasty when they are out and about roaming the street or out for their daily walk.
Some people fail to vaccinate their dogs and cats, this results in them becoming poorly and can prove costly when it comes to vet bills later in life. Although it is entirely the owner’s decision to vaccinate their pets, it is advisable. Many pet owners will deliberate about whether or not to get their pet vaccinated. They will weigh up the pros and cons of having it done. Although it is not common, pets can have an adverse reaction to the vaccine. If you are concerned about this, you should discuss it with your vet.
Pets are vaccinated against worms, cat flu and many other diseases, which can kill dogs and cats very quickly if they catch them. Most vets will advise about which vaccinations your pet needs and when you need to vaccinate your pet. They will keep a record of what vaccinations your pet has received over its lifetime.
It has been proven that the annual booster vaccination can cause serious problems to your dog. I have one Greyhound age 5 & 1/2 years old that has gone very noise sensitive within 5 days of his annual booster this year. In 2008 he was off-colour/ill for three days after that years annual booster. Vets insist on having you annually booster your dogs, not for technical reasons but for sheer profit motive. They will even give sick dogs the annual booster even when the manufacturer states this should never happen. In the USA it has been proven that once your dog had its two puppy vaccinations and the following years booster they are protected for life. The immune system is comphremised by carrying out these annual boosters leaving your dog unable to fight other diseases.
