A Lot of Pet Owners (Wrongly) Think Vaccines Are Bad for Dogs
gizmodo.com
A survey found that 53% of dog owners expressed some hesitancy about their pet's vaccines, which can prevent fatal diseases like rabies.

Please, please, please, please, please vaccinated your dog. Please. I beg you. If you love them. If you care about them. For your dog’s own sake, please vaccinate them.

    Flea, ticks and heart worm preventative measures are not vaccines since they don’t protect against a virus since fleas, tickets and heart worms are considered parasites. They use a different biological method to control than vaccines.

    However you really need to get them and most importantly keep them up to date. Most need to be given monthly for chewables and injectables need to be redone every 6-months or 12-months. You’re vet will help determine what is needed

      Minor quibble, vaccine protect against more than just viruses. Tetanus, for example, is a bacterial infection and there is a vaccine.
