Vaccinating Your Pet??

CONCLUSIONS: This is not necessarily needed for pets. They are over-vaccinated and not given appropriately for height and weight. Pets don’t need them annually as we do not get them after puberty.  Vets make most of their income on vaccines as they mark up the price anywhere between 2,400 to 6,200 percent!

Doctors Note:

I was not into health for animals until my family and I adopted our dog, Joey. We do have two cats who were vaccinated until we were educated on the dangers of vaccines.

Since Joey is a puppy, I became more interested in how to keep his immune system strong. I decided to put some effort into learning the health benefits of animals; namely dogs.

It turns out that they are a lot like humans. Processed dry foods are bad for their health as they are for us. There are healthier dry food options, ask your local pet food store as they would most likely know which brands are best. Being put on a raw food diet is the best option for them. Also know it is known for dogs to be allergic to protein. So when placing your dog on a raw food diet make sure he/she is not allergic by having your veterinarian perform a blood test. Vaccinations also affect their immune system as they do ours.

The article was very interesting, especially where it talks about how vets make their income off of vaccines. Some Vets may be misleading and others may not care. According to James Schwartz, author of “Trust Me, I’m Not a Veterinarian”, 63 percent of office visits are for scheduled vaccinations.

I would also check the article where it talks about Dr. Becker’s Recommendation for vaccines and follow them for your pet’s best interest. I especially recommend following this for dogs, as vaccines may also change the behavior and the intelligence of your pet. ( Assuming pet vaccines have the same effect on pets as human vaccines have on humans.)

This is a very good article that I found interesting and intriguing by Dr. Becker, who is also a veterinarian.
