Happy 16th birthday, Axel!

"Patty, This year, as May 8 rolls around, we are filled with so much gratitude. It was 16 years ago that Annie welcomed her litter with Goose.
A few weeks later, we were able to stop by to visit the pups and select one that would become such a major part of our lives. In many ways I feel that Axel selected us.
We were able to bring him home a couple weeks later and he quickly stole our hearts.
As we grew our family with children in following years, Axel was an excellent big brother to the kids.
Growing up, Axel has always been a very sweet dog that I fear has ruined me for other dogs. He is equally up for the adventure as he is to curl up and comfort us in tough times.
We are so very grateful to celebrate his birthday today. We were reminded a couple of days ago that every moment is precious and our time with Axel in our home is likely limited.
In conclusion, thank you, thank you, thank you for such an amazing dog!"
Paul, Emily, Hazel and Eleanor

I always recommend titers before openly accepting vaccines annually.

I need to be honest with you.

Core vaccinations for our pets (C3 for dogs, F3 for cats) are very EFFECTIVE disease protection. They stimulate a LONG LASTING, STRONG immunity for at least 5-7 years. Often longer, sometimes lifelong.

Almost all pets who have a core vaccination after 16 weeks of age will mount an immune response, create antibodies, and be protected from disease for at least 5-7 years, and often longer.

There are exceptions - for example, Rottweilers respond poorly to parvo vaccinations and may need to be re-vaccinated yearly for adequate protection.

VACCINATIONS ALSO CARRY VERY REAL RISKS!

Any vaccination can trigger acute or chronic vaccination reactions or injuries. (The veterinary industry in general doesn't believe in chronic vaccination injuries - but I know these happen, and I've treated heaps of pets with them over the years. e.g allergies, IBD, Autoimmune diseases, and chronic illnesses)

Even in the vaccine inserts, and in the Merck Manual, you'll see that documented side effects of vaccination (in rare cases) include death.

That doesn't mean that the risk benfit for vaccinating your pets doesn;t stack up. I believe that in most cases, it does. I've seen too many unvaccinated dogs die a terrible death from parvo to be ant-vax.

At the same time, I'm not blindly pro-vax.

I believe that we should all be thinking about how to maximise protection from deadly diseases like parvo, while at the same time minimizing how many vaccinations our pets receive.

The easiest way to do this is to TITER TEST to check antibody levels before re-vaccinating. Unfortunately, this is often expensive (though you can have your vet draw blood and you send it off in the post for more affordable tests if you live in the USA!).

If you live in other countries, request your vets order in and stock the Vaccicheck in-house kits (they are MUCH more affordable).

Your goal should be NEVER to give your pets any UNNECESSARY vaccination. This way, you'll make sure you protect them while minimising risk of harm from the vaccines.

How do you feel about this tricky topic? Love to hear from you in the comments!

Pepper's litter is growing and learning everyday.
Like Jasmine's litter, soon they'll have names, too.
