***Over - Vaccination or Vaccinosis***

The following web links provide information from veterinarians in the US and England regarding the practice of yearly vaccinations of our cats and dogs, and the serious, un-neccessary health problems linked to this practice.
We feel this is a vital subject, which you will want to address with your current veterinarian. This may affect the overall health and longevity of your pet in ways you may have not considered, as many veterinarians are not discussing this subject as a possible cause of allergies, and disease.  
 
This is a presentation by Bob Rogers DMV. I think this explains a great deal in a very understandable form.****

Dr. Ronald D. Schultz is on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine, and an incredible source of information regarding the use of vaccines on dogs and cats.
