do you think it is necessary to vacinate a dog??

Answer 1

Yes, just in case. To protect humans from rabies and dogs from other diseases.

Answer 2

Well let me ask you, do you need a needle every year?

In Western practice Veterinary medicine, they would highly suggest that you vaccinate your dogs every year to prevent any harmful disease.

However, this practice is being strongly debated in this day and age.

Vaccination, believe it or not, is not necessarily a good thing. It does, in fact, creat adverse reaction to dogs which can lead to serious illness to death.

In case studies on the danger of pet vaccination, you might find this interesting to know:

"Routine" vaccination has adverse side-effects, either short or long term. With vaccines that are repeated year after year, the frequency and severity of these side-effects in our pets has increased dramatically. Most of the problems involve the immune system. After all, the immune system is what vaccines are designed to stimulate. But they do so in a very unnatural way that can overwhelm and confuse the immune system."

"Annual revaccination provides no benefit and may increase the risk for adverse reactions. The percentage of vaccinated animals (those vaccinated only as puppies) protected from clinical disease after challenge with canine distemper virus, canine parvovirus and canine adenovirus in the study was greater than 95%."

Hope this helps you become better aware of the side effects in vaccination.

Answer 3

Most definitely. Dogs, for the most part, are outside more than cats are and so therefore, need the protection that vacination provides. Don't forget the heartworm treatments, either.

Answer 4

Absolutely! One of the vaccines is for Rabies. Rabies is a virus that attacks the brain and central nervous system of its victim. The virus can be transmitted to humans through the bite or scratch of an infected pet. Once symptoms begin, survival is unlikely. That is why vaccinating your pet for rabies is so important, it is the best preventative. It is also required by law that all dogs over 4 months of age be vaccinated against Rabies. This allows you to license your dog, which is also required by law.

Answer 5

Yes of course they do . its protection from diseases. You were vaccinated as a child if you are from the USA ,its the law . Your dog must be vaccinated for rabies,that's the law too. They deserve to be cared for and taken to the vet for all their health needs. Also SPAY and NEUTER so they do not add to the over population of poor unwanted neglected animals that are put to death every day in our over crowded under funded shelters

Answer 6

Only if you want them to have a healthy life. If you don't, then don't get a dog. You also need to give them monthly heart worm medicine and flea/tick treatment.

Addendum - This is like asking if you need to get your children vaccinated against measles, mumps, diptheria, polio and all the rest. It depends on if you want them to live a nice long healthy life or not. If not...don't have children either.

Answer 7

of course it is! du u want ur dog to git rabies or somethin? if u dont start vacinating ur pet at an eaerli age, it cud b fatal.

Answer 8

Yes,very important.

Answer 9

yes. Very important. Dogs can get very sick and die from diseases that are preventable and treatable. The shots help ward off these diseases. Why would you NOT want to do it?

Answer 10

Absolutely. There are so many animal diseases that can transfer to humans. And I think it's pretty cruel and selfish to not protect your dog against disease as you would yourself.
