"We don't believe in vaccinations." Discussions

I have not said that here. But I would suggest that you check on the Epilepsy List and all other fora regarding epilepsy and vaccinations where vaccinations of all types cause epilepsy and other major psychological and heart problems.

Just like PAT dogs and Guide Dogs, it is the "no annual vaccinations = no insurance = you can not use your dog for a PAT or Guide Dog.

The vaccination companies are ruling what can or can not be done. No vaccination = no insurance = go fly a kite.

Certainly in Hungary, if you want to take your dogs to training of any kind, you have to provide evidence that their vaccinations are up to date. The same applies if they ever need to stay in kennels and even when you stay with your dogs in some hotels.

As I've already said both mine have up to date EU Pet Passports which I carry everywhere with me same as I do with my credit card and ID.

And if you live in England, you have the channel sewer to worry about, because you will have far more than rabies to worry about.

But hey there are always vaccinations, so why worry? More money for the vaccination - and insurance tol

Welcome back to Distemper - it will certainly but down the amount if unwanted dogs.

In the meantime my puppy gets all the shots she needs, and to heck with what it costs

Please excuse my bad spelling because my sight, like my hearing, was boogered because there was no vaccinations against measles when I was a child;

And G-d help you if you ever had to visit a polio victim of whatever age in an iron lung for life because there was no vaccination then.

Pah - you kids have no idea what things were like for human babies. Puppies Oh you can always get another one. Actually always conceive and have another baby,

Feed the vaccine makers. And convince them hat babies [human] and puppies and ;dogs will die if you do not get their shots. So do not give your puppy and/or dog another shot. Human babies? Well we all know there are far too many people in the word,and how to make more.

I have witnessed a lot of spiteful things said on forums, and there are certain people who seem to gain pleasure from being rude to other people for simply having a different opinion, I also learned not to stoop to their level as those types are best ignored as they thrive on the attention, and debating with such people is a waste of time. This is the behaviour of the school playground. Forums should be for enjoyable debate, where no one is attacked, and where people with different views can agree to disagree.

It should go without saying that you should treat others as you would like to be treated.

@GsdSlave - I will be 74 years old on 13 March - what right have YOU to be be so rude to me?

Bring back Distemper and the otherthings. and enjoy rabies, because I do not want them.I will be only too too pleased to pay for their vaccinations, even of you cannot;

There is no clear cut correct Answer when it comes to boosters

All owners want what's best for their fur babies (dogs) there are those owners who don't want their dogs to have yearly boosters & there are those owners that want their dogs to have yearly boosters.
It is up to individual owners to choose whether to have yearly boosters.

Old school veterinarians insist on yearly boosters.
New school veterinarians say no need to have yearly boosters once dog is a certain age.

Who's right & who's wrong if veterinarians can't agree on whether our dogs need yearly boosters, what chance do we have on agreeing who's right & who's wrong.

Each owner does what they think is best for their dogs, no one else as the right to tell them what to do.

I personally will continue allowing my dogs to have their yearly boosters.

@Malka why do you think people's desire to not vaccinate is because they don't want to spend out on them? I just had Cash's hip scored back in September at far more cost than a simple booster vaccination. It's certainly nothing to do with money what I base my decision not to vaccinate on.

Money has nothing to do with it for the members on this board, I think it should be clear anyone. I chose not to use vaccines I'd already purchased, which is a monetary loss.

That's my life too. Hip score, genetic tests, dental, necessary treatments = hundreds of dollars. $5-20 for a vaccine no, can't possibly pay for that, that'd break the bank.

The old school vets have recommended 3yrs based on science.

Though I completely agree with you. We each do what we feel is right and what we are comfortable with. There is no reason to bash others or lay false accusations. I don't see a problem if you wish to do yearly and there are many vets who still recommend this. In many boarding kennels or to board at the vet office it is also a requirement. So depending on each persons situation might also be a reason why they have to do annually.

And the fact that it cost me $500 every three months for blood tests for my Pereg meant nothing? Oh, I forgot and amount Phenobarbitone cost me each month.

I probably should have had to had her euthanised after her her first seizure, which would also have saved me 4 years of yearly blood tests and yearly rabies ones, and four years of Phenobarbitone and the necessary supplements . And I still had to pay for my Vet to come at 1am to give her peace.

I HAVE A GREAT IDEA.

My puppy ate through a light cable of my electric wheelchair. It cost me nearly £400 to be replaced. It would only have cost about a tiny fraction of that to have had her euthanised. Or I could have done what happened to Baby Ziva - thrown into the middle of a field, or what happened to my puppy's unwanted seven litter mates - been taken to the Pound and euthanised five days later.

That really would have saved me moneyl

Good idea?
