As you may guess, I own Chow Chow dogs. Vaccinations are the worst thing that you can do to a dog; I have first hand experience.
The vaccinations routine set up by the vet is a money making machine for the vet; constant annual vaccinations do not benefit the dog. If you do some research on the internet you can find information (substantiated by the manufacturors of the vaccine) that the effect of a vaccine lasts 7 years +.
My vet insisted that I get annual vaccinations. I was stupid and did what I was told. After 7 years of annual vaccinations, one dog got lymphoma (cancer of the Lymph nodes) right after the annual vaccinations were given. I had to put this dog down. The sister to this dog got autoimmune disease, also right after the vaccinations.
The autoimmune disease first manifested itself right after the annual injections at the vet. The dog's nose started bleeding and blistering. The disease is terrible and stressful on the dog. The fur started falling out. The vet prescibed prednizone which is a steroid. I have been nursing this dog for two years now and I am finally seeing some improvement. It was MH that got me on the right track to cure the dog. I took her off of manufactured dog food. She gets a lot of vegetable oils (like olive). I have added more greens (like barley and wheatgrass) to the organically grown meat that I give the dog. The dog has a yard and will also eat fresh grass. I am not sure if the dog will ever get back to normal, but she is hanging in. I also get the dog accupunture treatments once a month along with Chinese herbs. The treatments and the herbs cost about $150.00 a month.
Bottom line, stay away from the vaccinations.
