And make sure, even if you are going to the vet for another reason, that you reiterate to the staff that you want no vaccinations given, especially if you are not with your dog at all times while there.
IN WRITING. In the file. With you keeping a copy.
Call me paranoid, but I had the desk person sign for receiving the memo and putting it into my dogs' files.

What really irritates me is that I cannot board my dogs unless they are current on ALL of their shots! Because of this it is impossible for my husband and I to go out of town for a few days. This is the rule, not just at the boarding facility at our vet's office, but also at the independent boarding facilities that we have used in the past.
I've been trying to educate myself since I got Shaed almost 3 yrs ago on vaccinations, and the adverse effects. I sure as hell don't want a dead dog because of a vet giving shots that aren't needed. I guess you could say I needed a refresher crash-course, been a while since the dogs have been in and had any shots. And now with Otto's thyroid problem(which is getting so much better, his hair has grown back and his coat and skin are healthy/shiny).

Connie,
The shots they require at our vets for boarding are
Rabies
Parvo
Distemper
Bortadella
(I'm going off my memory because I'm at work & can't look at the "vet file" that I have at home).

Just wondering if vaccinosis is limited to country at all?
In NZ I think they only vaccinate for parvo, distemper, canine flu, hepatitus and kennel cough. Pretty sure we don't do rabies shots. And the vet did ask if we wanted to vaccinate for lepto but we said no, he didn't push it.
Is it that the vaccines are bad more often than not? Or is it too many vaccines building up in the system and causing problems?

then give the meds as a cure instead of giving monthly doses of poison that the dog may not even need. Again, a highly personal choice.
I was under the impression that if your dog has gotten infected with heartworm that it would be dangerous to give heartguard to an already infected dog????

You're right. If your dog has adult-stage heartworms present then giving the medication could be dangerous, if not fatal.
That's why a heartworm bloodtest is so important if your dog has never been on the medication before or has been off of it for several months.
