Why do I need to vaccinate my puppy?

98. It teaches you immunology

Anyways, rabies is contract through saliva of an infected animal. Primarily through bites to be specific. There are about 350 cases of domestic animals with rabies each year.

Because cats are less likely than dogs to get vaccinated the number of cats with rabies is greatly increasing and as of 2008 now are infected 3x as often.[/font]

We were talking about how illogical your statement about your dog having lived to an old age has to do with whether your vaccinating them is effective.

Again George Burns smoked and drank and lived to be hundred years old, that does not mean that those things are good or healthy. [/font]
