C C, I’m noticing that more and more dog parents looking into over vaccination being toxic. Somehow mentioning this subject makes many people uncomfortable.
I did my research years ago and it was big eye opening experience. Even UC Davis Veterinary Medicine revised their vaccination guidelines few years ago with more careful approach after research. It was article written by one of their professors after years of studies and researches on core vaccination which concludes that 3 years core vaccines actually provide protection for much longer, 5 to 7 years depending on individual dog ( size, breed) and repeating every 3 years without Vaccine Titer Test leads to dangerous over vaccination. I wish I would have save this article but I didn’t and now I can’t find it.
Back in 2002, Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association published the study about problems with using a universal dosage.
It’s becoming more common to find veterinarians who measure antibody levels through blood titers instead of defaulting to regular booster shots. But even with the AVMA and AAHA constantly revisiting their guidelines, pet vaccines remain a tricky topic.
