Pros And Cons Of Over Vaccinating Pets

Are we Over Vaccinating our Pets? A very controversial topic is if we are over vaccinating our pets. Over vaccinating is when vets give animals shots that may be too much for their weight or too many shots throughout their life. Many people think that over vaccinating will make the animal sick or possibly die. Veterinarians think the animal is too small for the amount of vaccine or that the animal only needs to get vaccinated once when is is a baby. While others believe giving the annual shots in full doses is fine and is needed to prevent the diseases the shots are for. People also think that without the annual shots the animal will get sick. One side says that over vaccinating will make the animal sick and or kill them. They believe smaller
Vets will have to vaccinate animals even if they don’t believe it to be morally right. If you do not vaccinate when the shots are needed there are also pros and cons for the pet, owner and vet. There are less vaccines bill the owner will pay, but their are more risks for the owner to have to pay more later on if the animal gets that disease. The pet will not have the risk of over vaccination but the risk for the disease the vaccine prevents. Lastly the vets will have to deal with the fact that they may not have given the animal everything to prevent the possible disease. Concluding animal over vaccinating is still a very controversial issue. Until they can prove that the vaccines given as puppies or kittens will last their whole lives than most people will still get their animals vaccines every three years. Animals are threatened either way, they may get sick from over vaccinating or without the vaccine they may get the disease that the vaccine was for. It all depends on what the owner wants and what the vet suggests for the animal. Do whats right for your animals and what you think they want or need.
