I have heard a few people mention that they are against injecting their dogs. My dog has had his course of injections when he was a pup. Can someone explain the objections for giving dogs boosters etc and what should they have done instead.

Hi there Guest.
I've not long stopped giving my dogs vaccinations after severe skin problems arrised 2 years in a row. They now have homeopathic vaccinations. I also use natural wormers and flea treatment (the less chemicals, the better). :)

I haven't used boosters at all for my last two dogs (last one lived to 14, present one now 6) and they have both been very healthy dogs. There is growing evidence of illnesses, both chronic and acute, being caused by them and that they may not be neccessary. :)

We haven't in our Pomeranian's for a no. of years and every one has lived until at least 13 years of age!! To watch pups die after vaccinations and even whilst at the vets was heartbreaking to say the least, but since we used the dead vaccines on our pups when first vaccinated we have never had to go through the awful time of this happening. Luckily these days the dead vaccine is used more.
