Vaccine Guide for Dogs and Cats: What Every Pet Lover Should Know Paperback – Illustrated, May 1, 2003

Very pleased with information in this book ------ information may help your dog live a longer and healthier life.

I think every person that has a dog or cat should read this book. People really need to be educated on what they are putting into their animal companions. Vaccinations aren't bad but we do over vaccinated and also give too many vaccinations at the same time. The book has a lot of good facts that most people do not know and also information for further reading. Its you who has to take care of your animal companions welfare. Yes majority of vets love animals otherwise they would not be in the business. The key word is business they get more money when an animal is vaccination frequently. Vaccinations should be kept to a minimum and if a animal is getting more then one vaccination it should only be 2 at one time and then wait awhile for the others (least 6 weeks) There are many people who have started to go vaccination free and their dogs are perfectly fine and healthy. The book also shows that there is no evidence that frequent/yearly vaccination keeps an animal healthy.

Good to know facts

This is an excellent reference book with very in-depth information. I was amazed and impressed with how factual and unbiased this book is. Most books are lobbying for or against an idea, especially on the controversial issue of health, but Catherine presents the facts as she has found them and lets the reader decide for themselves how to act on them.

I really do not recommend this book. If somebody wants to reduce re-vaccination to his dog I strongly recommend to find out different authors. that can tell you why re-vaccination is not recommended based on a scientific basis. This book tells you that some vaccines are not well proved and may affect your dogs health. However I think that the author is not a Vet. and does not have the scientific basis to make the recommendations. If somebody else read the book, please do not follow what the author says unless you have asked your vet and you have done a deeper investigation about it.

NOT VERY HELPFUL

Every animal lover should read this in order to truly make the best decisions for your animal.

It is about time someone brings to light the dangers of over- vaccination! This book explores the many dangerous side effects of vaccination, the obscurity of diseases such as Coronavirus, the inadequacies in vaccines such as Leptospirosis, and the lack of science behind annual rabies mandates. The text given is thourough, and thought provoking! Many vaccines are mandated based on fear, and not science. It is refreshing to see an author admit the inadequacies of vaccinations and the laws surrounding them. Vaccines can become dangerous, and cannot be considered harmless, as demostrated in this book.This book provides a solid outline of data that rubs against the grain! A great mind-opener! It is great for those questioning current vaccination standards, yet will easily rub wrong with those who strongly advoate vaccine usage. The main down-fall to the book is that it focuses on the negative, and gives little alternative beyond not vaccinating. I would use this book as a resource for the negatives of vaccination, yet would do further research to determine if or how you will choose to vaccinate. The book would serve well coupled with Don Hamiltons book Homeopathy for Cats and Dogs: Small doses for small animals, which also gives some interesting insight into vaccinations, and more alternative on how to administer them, if at all.
