ruby16 80 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I BOUGHT A DOG SOME TIME AGO FROM A LASS THAT WAS TRAINING AS A VET AND SHE TOLD THEN THAT THE BOOSTERS ARE JUST TO LINE A VETS POCKET AND REALLY NOT NECESSARY, THE INITIAL JABS ARE A LIVING ORGANISM AND WILL LAST A LIFETIME.

Yup If you know someone who has had an issue due to lack off a booster jab,, you are the first and only person I`ve come across that actually knows someone that has had these problems. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 ross' terrier had big problems. now im not 100% sure if it was lack of a booster or lack of an initial injection as he got it as a rescue dog. sure he will be able to clarify. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chid 6,543 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 There used to be a pinned post by ditchshitter that went into detail about how useless boosters were . I know that I won't be lining a vets pockets and won't be giving my dogs something they don't need Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lawrence 657 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 personally i think you need your head looked at if your going to a vet for boosters, i give them their first jabs myself and thats it, have never had a dog go down with anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 cant kennel the dogs (boarding kennel) without an up to date vaccination card. dont mind lining the vets pockets once every couple of years if it means ive got peace of mind when the dogs belly deep in cow shit and god knows what else. or if it takes a nip off a rat,squirrel or next doors cat.
