Around here you are required by law to have rabies shots....that's all. Personally, with outdoor cats, if they last a year witout becoming prey to cars and owls...they're smart enough to get shots.

Are you "required" to have cats and dogs vaccinated? We had a cat for years and never had any shots.

Subject: CS>Re: pet vacc


..... does anyone have comment
regarding cat and dog vaccines? I've received reminders from our vet that
our pets are due for their booster shots and wonder what the kindest way to
approach the issue is, for them.
Many thanks!

Yvonne,
Most pet owners don't even question a yearly vacc. Lets give this some
thought... a human child gets one set of vacc. that last on average 60 - 70
yrs.
An animal, by most vet standards gets an annual vacc. Now Fifi only lives on
the average of 15ys. Why can't Fifi's one time vacc build immunity and last
for their very short lifespan? Vacc. challenge the immune system and as an
animal gets older this can present a problem in many areas.
I have read on numerous sites that some vets are finally questioning the need
for yearly and have upped to 3 ys... which still baffles me. When I do vacc.
my cats, I use intranasal /intraocular to avoid site related sarcomas PLUS
most virus/germs enter the body through the nose, eyes, mouth. The vacc.
stimulates immunity in the tissues where the viruses enter the body.
Of course I use CS in their water or as their water to keep the cooties away.
