vaccination dangers

Hi, I'm collecting my puppy end of November at 8 weeks old    she will of had her first vaccination and worming.
I've been reading a lot about how bad vaccinations are and that there not really needed, overly used by vets who make large profits from them, to be honest I never even thought about them and there dangers with my last dog, but I don't want to give the puppy anything she doesn't need.

I was just wondering if anyone had looked into the puppy/adult vaccinations if there really needed  

Thanks

Stef

I don't vaccinate Moo but I would recommend having the puppy ones and it also depends if there are any illnesses where you live Xx

Thanks, that's what I was thinking just letting her have her puppy ones and avoiding the others in future, I don't think there are any illnesses where I live

We don't have any shots for Flo but do keep up with worming.

Check their immunity to see if they need vaccines.

I have Ledger vaccinated but he needs them for the kennels and expected for agility/flyball competition

I would get the puppy vaccine as the vaccine is also to protect aggainst parvo virus a good honest will tell u about the pros and cons of vaccines a lot of vets are in it for the money not all of them tho.

I have read up about this too - I vaccinate with the core vaccines every 3 years and lepto every year. Some people do, some don't. But I volunteer with kennel dogs and so likely to come into contact with parvovirus etc. Titer tests are useful for checking immunity and seeing if a vaccine is required - I plan to do this at the 3 year point and make a decision regarding whether to vaccinate from there. I've seen dogs die from parvo and it spreads like wildfire. Some vets will recommend yearly vac for all core vaccines which IMO is wrong and could do damage - I follow the manufacturers guidelines - which states every 3 years and yearly for lepto. As we walk rurally: swim in wild rivers on the moors, I do vaccinate for lepto.

if you had ever seen a dog suffering with parvo then you wouldn't think twice.

I do the same as Rachel with my boy
