What. The. Fuck? Why would *anyone* be against vaccinating their pet against a disease that certainly ends with death? Why are people like this?

It's because there is an overvaccination problem where some of the vaccines are unnecessary unless you're sending your dog to a kennel or any environment where there a lot of other dogs. The rabies vaccine is necessary and is lumped in with the unnecessary ones. Has to be all or none for them

Your dog really needs heartworm protection, flea and tick protection, and the rabies vaccine. If you're keeping the dog at home you really don't need the rest for a majority of cases.

We mostly keep our dogs in the backyard. They aren't around any other dog feces but their own. But yeah if you take your dogs to dog parks or a lot of walks with people who don't pick up after their dogs (gross). Sure, vaccinate with that.

If other dogs exist around you, you should be vaccinating against parvo. Poo particles don't stop at your property line.

Not just other dogs. Foxes, wolves, coyotes, cats, and skunks all get parvo. Not a lot of yards in the U.S. that never see any of those.

Which is also why we get the lepto vaccine!
