Don't Kill Your Pet with Vaccines!

 

Like many pet owners you are probably bombarded with reminders from your local veterinarian to protect your cat or dog by having its latest booster vaccine shot – but by following their advice you might be killing your pet rather than protecting it. At least that is the opinion of a Dr. Jean Hofve, a Dr. of Veternary Medicine

According to Dr. Hofve, writing in the April-May 2010 edition of The Pet Connection Paper giving your cat or do the annual booster vaccinations which many mainstream veterinarians promote is not only a waste of time and money but also create dangers for your pet.

He says, that, "Additional vaccine doses in an immunized animal do not increase or improve the immunity, but they do increase the risks."

According to this doctor you should think twice about subjecting your pet to any additional vaccination after the first one when they are young because of the risk that some of these vaccines might cause Vaccine Associated Sarcomas (VAS) in the connective tissues of the cats and can also have adverse affects on the connective tissues of dogs as well.

According to Dr. Hofve statistics show the vaccination can cause this cancer in up to 1 in 10,000 cats in some studies or as many as 1 case in 1,000 cats in other studies.

Obviously more research needs to be done but regardless of the severity of the risk, as he points out in his article, you could be subjecting your pet to this risk for nothing and your pet could be one of the ones to develop cancer from a vaccine – especially if they have a genetic susceptibility to cancer already.

Here is a case were you need to assess the facts carefully before giving in to any pressure from your pet's veterinarian to continue a series of booster vaccinations throughout their lives.

You could be cutting their lives short rather than protecting them from disease.
