Make Sure Your Pet Needs Vaccinations

The best way to save money on vaccinations is to make sure your pet really requires a particular shot. Pets' immune systems may not need booster shots every couple of years. How can you tell? Ask your vet about the serology test called the "Titer."

We have no choice about the mandatory shots in our particular states, but we may be able to skip some of the optional shots. You'd have to weigh the cost of the Titer against the cost of continuing the regular shots, but if your pets' immune systems are still sufficiently protected with their previous shots, follow-ups may not be necessary.

I don't vaccinate and my dogs live for 20 years. Much studied about dangers of vaccines as my step grandson died with one, i have MS from a vaccine and many people i know have been adversely affected with disease and illness directly related to vaccine. Please go on vaclib.org and check ingredients. If you can name 5 ingredients in a vaccine that are helpful - then consider the big needle.

When you find brain damage because of mercury, anti freeze, formaldehyde and the like in vaccines you may decide to build the immune system instead of destroying it. Look at the ADD ADHD, SIDS, and autism in people, caused by vaccines and what do you think vaccines are doing to your dog?

Build systems by good food with no corn, wheat or soy. That means you cook, add some raw, get your kibble at a store other than your local grocer. The popular pet foods at the grocers are including euthanized animals from the pounds. That includes the chemicals to put them to sleep as that does not cook off. Google this and see for yourself. Rabies vaccine is required if you intend to license.
