A survey found that 53% of dog owners expressed some hesitancy about their pet's vaccines, which can prevent fatal diseases like rabies.

Please, please, please, please, please vaccinated your dog. Please. I beg you. If you love them. If you care about them. For your dog’s own sake, please vaccinate them.

    My dog is allergic to the rabies shot but her vet gives it to her in two doses and we load her up on benedryl before the shot. And I do the same for a few of my own vaccines due to my own allergies. The work around isn’t perfect but I’m glad to have options. Some vaccines are just worth the risk.

      yeah we do benedryl as well and that tends to help. We tend to use it when she has any iffy stuff like the poop pills or if she eats something off the ground.

      That’s the right thing to do even with your dog’s situation. A few days of dog discomfort is sad to watch, but rabies is much, much worse.
