Yearly vaccinations for your ratting dogs

[johnny 777 53]

Should you vaccinate your ratting dogs yearly answers plz

[hillbilly boy 109]

Yeah better safe than sorry for what the jab costs to the cost of buying a new pup and time bringing on

[alimac 882]

All the dogs iv owned or worked with get there first jabs and that's it & touch wood they have never had a problem, spend a hour or two on the net & look into the studies etc.. The yearly jab is just to line your vets pocket with yet a few more quid..

[johnny 777 53]

Thanks hillbilly, totally agree. It just isn't worth putting your dog through the suffering in the long run, ATB

[hillbilly boy 109]

No probs mate I pay it even if its just for peace of mind it's worth it to me. Atb

[johnny 777 53]

Alimac it has been proving that these jabs do work. Farmers vaccinate there cattle for such diseases. So is it worth it for a small fee ?

[alimac 882]

Yes they do work that's why there's no need to do it year after year after year.. So yes it is worth paying for one but only badly informed folk who won't spend a bit of time researching the subject your discussing will be daft enough to do it yearly ;-)

[hillbilly boy 109]

Well me personally I don't mind paying out every year it don't break the bank and for my peace of mind I think it's worth it

[alimac 882]

Fair play fella, only your mrs can tell you what to do with your money, lol, but honestly when you've a bit of spare time look it up on the net..

[hillbilly boy 109]

Haha your prob right but I'm a worrier I like the fact it gives me the peace of mind

GET THEM JABBED FOR LEPTOSPEROSIS EVERY YEAR ... A good mate of mine that owned a well known Lakeland 20 odd years ago that was machine at working died at the age of 7 after a poxy days ratting during the summer ... It's the only jab I give my dogs every year without fail ... That terriers death was a massive shame to the terrier gene pool .........

[johnny 777 53]

I have done the research. I for one do not want to risk loosing my dogs for a small yearly fee. ATB

i like yourself mate have seen a good terrier die because it was not boostered against leptospirosis [weil'sdisease] i myself get my dogs jabbed every year against this disease'i think 30 quid a year is a small price to pay if you value you dog,yes some dogs may build up natural immunity's ,but for me i certainly wont be taking that chance with my dogs,happy hunting to you all.
