If you’re similar to most pet owners today, you’re probably finding the whole pet vaccine issue more and more confusing. Your conventional veterinarian tells you in no uncertain terms that “as a responsible pet owner, you must do the right thing and follow my advice: vaccinate your pet every year” with annual booster shots. On top of that, you’ve also heard the horror stories about pets who have developed cancer at the site of vaccine injections, and a number of other stories about adverse vaccine reactions in both dogs and cats.

Are we vaccinating our pets too often? Are we giving them too many vaccines? Are veterinarians doing what is best for our pets’ health, or is this just about the ‘bottom line’?

There are many different views, often completely contradictory. The Veterinary Society in general is telling pet owners to vaccinate yearly, that vaccines are not harmful to our pets. Many veterinarians tell pet owners to vaccinate casually, that “at worst, they won’t cause any harm”. The evidence, and many individual veterinarians and alternative pet health practitioners, suggests otherwise.

People are the dichotomy of dichotomies. We are very different and very alike in so many ways. I can’t think of anthing can bring us closer together than a cute puppy or kitty. They seem to have a special spirit in which we all share the same care.

I have owned dogs and cats since I was six years old. I am now 53. My feelings about them have not changed. Like young children, they teach me about unconditional love, something that is often lost in the hustle and bustle world in which we live. They bring me back to basics.

I am in the cartoon and online humor gift business. I have dedicated a majority of my work to the animal kingdom; particularly dogs and cats. Though there are many topics with which I deal, from science to relationships, my dog, cat, and other animal ones are the ones I cherish the most and our fans tend to agree.
