    @Tommydudez well, most of this dogs can have an immunitary sistem stronger ’cause the food and wather they eat
    and because the enviroment too
    yes, you can choose not to vaccinate your puppy, but I think its kinda like the little kids
    Its better if you give him the shot once a year, that means you care for him too!

  5. openyourmindseye84 says:

    @Tommydudez It depends on where you live and how bad these vaccines are really needed. And I never said anything about stray animals, but think about this… strays eat all kind of nasty things that your dog/puppy isn’t likely to eat in it’s entire life, thus making the chance of contracting one of the diseases a rare chance. There are vaccines that aren’t necessary at all and that don’t even cover all the different strains (such as the Lepto vacc).

  6. Tommydudez says:

    @openyourmindseye84 oh i see.may i ask if i could keep my 6-week old puppy healthy thru out this adulthood without a single vaccinations? its given by a friend and its hyperactive and eats a lot. Thus,i wouldnt be worrying about any kinds of viral infection at tis stage now. However,i am concerned if later in the futre if it may catch sth,what do u think?

    PS:All the stray dogs live a healthy life without a single shot.

    @teddeeboo nop, the vaccine its so much better, you only have to give them once a year

  10. teddeeboo says:

    Someone answer me im scared :(
    im going to get my 7 year old boy doggy,
    and 2 year old girl doggy [human years]
    the rabies shot? but people say vitamins are better.. please help!!

  11. LiPCast says:

    i adopted a french poodle from a family that couldnt take care for her anymore, & was ten months old, very energetic, & never received a vaccine, then after i got her we went 2 the vet & gave her the rabbies vaccine for her 2 be protected, after a month she wasnt energetic anymore and just lay down for a couple of days, at 1st i thought she had stomachache, then i thought some bug bit her, & then i decided 2 take her 2 the vet, but she died before that =( & now im thinking it was the vaccinne

  12. Houseitch says:

    EDUCATE BEFORE YOU VACCINATE! VACCINES GAVE MY BEAGLE CANCER! THEY ARE KILLING OUR PETS, TOO! NOW THE FDA is promoting a line for our pets, that don’t work, they contain sodium lauryl sulfates, which is an engine degreaser: WAKE UP PEOPLE! DON’T DO their poisons! THERE IS NO HIGH LEVEL OF RABIES, ANYWHERE, if anything, THEY put it there!

  13. openyourmindseye84 says:

    The only vaccine that should be given is the rabies vaccine and only when the dog is an adult. Giving young puppies and dogs shots can make them sick, give them allergies, cause other major health problems and in some instances they can die from vaccinosis. Get all the facts before vaccinating.

  14. lifeabiatch says:

    remember the area you live in,if there is a high level of rabies, please vaccinate,mine get one every year,and distemper,as puppies they can start at 6 weeks old 1st set 2nd set 4 weeks later,and rabbies and distemper at 16 weeks old where I live raccons carry rabbies I don’t know if they have been in my yard but never had a Vet asked to give vaccinations before surgery if they are up to date they only do some blood work to be sure all is well and operate Canada every year by law rabbies vaccine

  15. Giveussometruth says:

    On average vaccines cost 60 to 95 cents per dose and are charged to the client at $15 to $25 per injection and substantially more in the large cities. Therefore, if veterinarians lobby to have a colorable law passed to give rabies vaccine every year that enhances their financial picture.

  16. TMM909 says:

    These girls reccomend annual vaccines. This is very outdated information, the new protocol says every 3 years. Vaccines are very dangerous and now information is coming to light that they are ineffective. Search the internet for vaccine dangers, vaccinosis, vaccine fraud, vaccine injury, vaccine cancer link. I’d do your own research before you vaccinate any member of your family, human, canine, feline, etc

  17. FlowersRose989 says:

    thats good:) im happy hes ok

  18. puppytails1 says:

    That’s a long story but the vet gave him 3 days to live, that was 4 weeks ago. He was lethargic wouldn’t eat or drink water, I put him on the very opposite vet suggested treatment. I added an herbal detox & he bounced back in 3days. I can’t afford professional homeopathic assistance so I am on my own, time will tell if the auto immune reverses itself completely or if I can only delay the inevitable. Meanwhile he is his old playful alert self.

  19. FlowersRose989 says:

    ok :)

    Also ask you vet if she vaccinates her own pets yearly, many vets don’t vaccinate due to “complications” neither do many Doctors vaccinate their own children but they are more than happy to vaccinate yours

    “i thought vaccines were good for dogs???”
    That’s funny, a vitamin is good for a dog, vaccines are not good for animals, they inject disease, heavy metals and toxins in hopes that your dog will build immunity.
    Here is your first assignment. Search internet & youtube for vaccine content (or ingredients) it’ll make you sick. Then go to the vet ask to see the bottle and insert of the vaccine,

  22. FlowersRose989 says:

    really, is ur poodle ok

  23. puppytails1 says:

    I typed in Vaccine auto immune and many variations pulling up other people who had the same situation but naturally to avoid lawsuits they always deny a relation to anything they did in both animal & human cases.
    Simply put you just have to know how to search, just type in any disease then add vaccine, I then become fully engulfed in all related information.

  24. puppytails1 says:

    But here is how I do my searches.
    For instance I have a Standard Poodle, he was fine until after his vaccination series which the vet insisted before a procedure at his office. I argued with him but allowed him to give the vaccine, 2 weeks later he was lethargic, diagnosis Auto immune disease even he said the blood tests show that what triggered it was blood born, something that went directly into the blood stream and we have no ticks here.

  25. FlowersRose989 says:

    oh really i never knew about that…i thought vaccines were good for dogs??? should i chance it again to take my dogs get a vaccine again???

  26. kokolani says:

    Dog lovers, please do extensive research about the dangers of dog vaccinations. I brought my healthy 7 year old maltese for anti rabies, distemper and bordetella shots and weeks later, she had severe allergy/itching, leg weakness and paralysis, depressed, wobbles, disoriented and has arthritis. PLEASE if you care for your pets, dont vaccinate them! VETS and druge companies promote vaccinations for MONEY, nothing else! I learned my lesson too late.
