According to Dogster, those of us don’t vaccinate yearly and triennially are hysterical and ignorant.

Vets have known for nearly four decades that animals don't need to be vaccinated more than once, thanks to the tireless efforts of Dr Ronald Schultz. His research has been done on over a thousand dogs and with every major veterinary vaccine and shows that over 95% of dogs vaccinated at 16 weeks or older are protected for 7 to 15 years and likely for life.

On the other hand, there has never been any scientific validity to repeating a vaccine. Not one shred. This means that the vaccination schedules that vets use today are based on habit and assumption and not science. Please leave a comment on this site so we can all put an end to unnecessary vaccination! Help us to protect your dogs.http://bit.ly/TL3mbl
