SO JUST HOW LONG DO YOUR PET’S SHOTS LAST? Definitely longer than a year! According to the top pet immunologist (aka vaccine expert) in the world, Dr. Ronald Sc...hultz, Ph.D. Annual revaccination provides no benefit and may increase the risk for adverse reactions. What the heck are adverse reactions (or side effects)? Well according to the other rock star pet immunologist Dr. Jean Dodds: Side effects from dog vaccinations can occur anywhere from instantly up to several weeks or months later. Vaccines can even cause susceptibility to chronic diseases that appear much later in a dog’s life (Dodd, 2001). Severe and fatal adverse reactions include: Susceptibility to infections. Neurological disorders and encephalitis. Aberrant behavior, including unprovoked aggression. Vaccines are linked to seizures. Distemper, parvovirus, rabies and, presumably, other vaccines have been linked with poly neuropathy, a nerve disease that involves inflammation of several nerves. (Dodds,2001) SO HOW LONG EXACTLY DOES YOUR PET’S VACCINE LAST? According to the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), (basically the dudes who set the standards for the vets): Among healthy dogs, all commercially available [core] vaccines are expected to induce a sustained protective immune response lasting at least 5 yr. thereafter Here’s the breakdown of the core vaccines from Dr. Ronald Schultz: Minimum Duration of Immunity for Canine Vaccines: Distemper- 7 years by challenge Parvovirus 7 years by challenge Adenovirus 7 years by challenge Canine rabies 3 years by challenge The moral of the story here, if you have no idea when your pet is due or has been vaccinated, then just run a titer test and this will confirm if you are due, rather than over-vaccinate your poor pet, setting the stage for future problems! What’s a titer test? A titer test (pronounced tight-errr) is a laboratory or in-house veterinary test measuring the existence and level of antibodies (necessary to fight off disease) in your pet’s blood. Basically, it’s a test that will tell you whether or not you actually need to vaccinate your pet. It’s also super useful when making a decision about vaccinating a pet with an unknown vaccination history, or for determining if pets have received immunity from vaccination. Vaccinating your pet is super important so don’t lose the overall message here: VACCINATE, JUST DON’T OVER-VACCINATE! According to Dr. Dodds: Vaccines have achieved many important benefits for companion animals, and has saved more animals' lives than any other medical advance. Want more on titer testing?

All the beautiful dogs that we groomed today at LilSnippers ! Was an excellent sunny day... thank you to everyone for supporting us during covid 19 times and following our new social distancing rules
A couple before and after shots ! We are still open for business just remaining with all humans staying out of the shop. All exchange of dogs is done contactless. Glad we are still getting to see lots of our furry friends
During this time of COVID-19 we have been taking all measures to keep the shop sanitized with many extra cleaning measures. All exchanges of payment and dogs will be done outside and our doors will remain locked. This will help maintain all social distancing. We will not be taking leashes and will put one of ours on in transfer of your dog to minimalize the items touched. Last night Courtney returned from the United States and is required 2 weeks of Quarentine. In order to co...mplete this we will be having to close the shop until April 7th. We will be accommodating all appointments following this date and maintain these standards of cleaning and social distancing. We want to be part of the solution and do our part and apologize for any inconvenience. All customers with appointments will be contacted directly as well. We hope everyone stays safe during these hard times and look so forward to loving your pets again shortly !! See more
