So, I work at a dog kennel that requires vaccinations. Dogs need rabies, de worming, and kennel cough vaccines. The reason we have that policy in place is because those viruses and other stuff cannot be fought off naturally, especially younger and older dogs. We had a dog come in without kennel cough vaccinations because she was too young. She almost died because of her untreated kennel cough, and the immune system of a dog is so much different than a human. Vaccinating for rabies is pretty obvious, as that is a 100% mortality rate without an inoculation. Any other vaccine is pretty much useless, so there’s no need to. But these 3 vaccines are the ones that NEED to happen, as we would have a huge mortality rate in our kennel without them.
