Pet Vaccinations Are Big Business - Why They May NOT Be Necessary
from: Brigitte Smith
If you follow the standard guidelines for pet vaccinations you've probably been submitting your cat or dog to vaccinations every year in an effort to provide them the best health possible.
Vaccinations are a big business. Pet owners will spend whatever they need to in order to protect their pets and possibly themselves from contracting serious and potentially deadly diseases such as rabies or distemper.
However, some veterinarians and pet owners are starting to question the wisdom and necessity of annual vaccinations.
Dr. Margie Scherk who runs a veterinary clinic in Vancouver was quoted in a CBC news story as stating that "We have no reason to think a cat's immune system is different than a human's immune system. And we don't get vaccinated every year."
If this is true, why do vets keep warning us to have our dogs and cats vaccinated annually?
Possibly some encourage the visits for the monetary benefits, but it is also a subject that is still fraught with controversy.
Pet owners in general are not anxious to take risks with such deadly diseases and so until conclusive studies are embraced by the medical field they will continue with annual vaccinations.
On the other hand, some studies have shown that certain vaccines, such as the rabies vaccine, may be linked to an increase in tumors in cats.
Other pet owners have had personal experiences which led them to believe that vaccines in puppies may have been responsible for a higher mortality in a healthy litter.
Until these concerns have been researched further, veterinarians take their own stand on vaccinations. Dr. Kruth, who was also interviewed by CBC, believes that owners should make decisions based on the lifestyle of their pet. He explains that hunting dogs are clearly more at risk for picking up some of these diseases than a pet kept indoors in the city.
How can pet owners make an educated decision? There's a large amount of information available online, including recommendations from Associations and veterinary schools which may reflect the more recent research. However, most individuals will likely rely on the experience and recommendation of their vet, or shop around to find one who is implementing newer recommendations, namely a three year gap between most vaccinations. This seems to be a compromise on the conventional practise of annual vaccinations and no vaccinations for adult dogs at all. But it's certainly a step in the right direction.
So before listening to your conventionally trained vet uncritically, do some research on the subject of vaccinations and vaccinosis (a medical condition which is caused by vaccinations and goes unrecognized by the majority of vets). Then if you're still unsure, seek out a holistically trained vet for further advice.
