ive known this for years there was a documentary on it about twenty years ago. i always make sure the puppies are injected but never bother after this,

 

never ever had any problems using this approach

When they developped the vaccines for animals they were only trialled for 12 months to see if they were effective and they never trialled the length of time they were effective ...we have vaccines(MMR) and we don't get boosted every year.

At the end of the day its your choice on how you treat your animals and if you don't get them boosted every year and if they catch a disease which could have been prevented through vaccinations then how would you stand on the best care care policy you are supposed to give your animals these days.... Would you take the risk of a neglect charge or even a cruelty charge .not me i'm afraid

read my topic on parvo put up today the top medical development teams working to develope and sell the vaccines to vets have changed the vaccine and the way it works. Vets and drugs companys have made a fortune from it but most vets do still do the live vaccine which is the old one where you dont need boosters as your dog builds a strong immunity to parvo but the new one called the killer vaccine does need boosters its not a lie as it only last a maximum of 12 months at full working order and from 12 months to 3 years it slowly fades away then theres no protection at all. Where as the live one targets at strengthening the immune system to help the dogs bodys immune system fight and put a barrier up against parvo like the jabs for meningitus. But the killer vaccine stays as an active agent doent strenghten the dogs immune system at all just fights the parvo for the dog when it catches the virus or comes in contact with it. This is why i put the other post up to educate people in saving money but also getting the best protection for the dog. As most good vets who are in it for the animals not the money still can order the live vaccine for you which means no boosters and better protection

Very true mate... Also when you can buy the self same vaccine online for next to nothing but the vets insist on charging anything from between £30to £50. Its beyond me... Money grabbing legitimate daylight robbery imo... atb stabba

So your saying you value legal issues over moral issues?

Always had dogs, the only vaccination- if any- was as a pup, like you say if they're exposed they'll maintain the resistance

yeah but your dogs have always had the live vaccine as thats all there was read the whole of what ive said now its a totally different vaccine within 3 years its gone its totally different the old 1 used to improve the immune system this one doesnt it just has active indgrediant that stay in the blood. And skin tissuses then when the dog comes into contact with the virus these agents kick in before the immune system to fight the virus off but the old one was different as i said it was based on the improvment of the immune system only so vets still use the old live vaccine and they will tell you if they do mine has just had the live vaccine. all this information has came from a vet who uses the old vaccine as he even said the old one is far more efficient and is cheaper for the owner i was the last appoinment and after he gave me a whole lesson on the difference. He even said most dog people dont even realise theres a big change and because people are using this new vaccine and then not returning for the booster as there so used to only having first jabs with a dog parvo numbers have soared like i said if its the live one your safe but ask your vet because if its the new one i'd get him done in the old.

Spot on-known it for years- money comes first with a lot of vets.

 

if Sharing info can help working lads keep a few quid in there pocket then i will drink to that

I took my dogs for their yearly boosters a few years ago and my vet looked at their records and turned me away saying 'those dogs are well enough covered, bring them back next year.' Very honest, I thought.

Brilliant topic and one i am very interested in, people are scared into spending money by 'doing the right thing' we over vaccinate our pets and we over vaccinate our kids
