Health See other Health Articles Title: Why Vets Are Getting Away With Murder How’s that for a title? If it got your attention, that’s good because this topic needs your attention. It used to be that dogs visited the vet pretty rarely. They only needed a couple of vaccines, they weren’t eating veterinary prescription diets and they weren’t continually loaded with: heartworm preventives flea and tick meds flea and tick shampoos dewormers pharmaceuticals and more Thinking back, maybe that’s why they didn’t need to go to the vet all that often. Today, there’s a very different veterinary clinic. It’s true that we now have better treatment options at our disposal, such as MRIs and more technologically advanced surgery. I think it’s great that vets – and our pets – have access to these modern, life-saving tools. But somewhere along the way, the veterinary practice lost perspective. I’m not talking about individual vets; I believe that most of them want to do right by our pets. But the problem is vets have allowed themselves to be influenced by the pharmaceutical companies and the dog food manufacturers – to the great detriment of our pets. Why The Veterinary Profession Is Broken … The veterinary profession is broken and it isn’t about to change any time soon. Our pets are being over-serviced and we’re getting fleeced. We pay for the unnecessary vaccinations, the overly-processed, synthetic prescription pet foods that contain ingredients from China, and we pay for drugs and chemicals that are damaging to the immune system. After shelling out for these services, pet owners need to keep their wallets open because, sooner or later, the chronic disease caused by these products like allergies and cancer will start to kick in and require treatment. They threaten the quality and quantity of life for our companion animals – and many of these diseases are caused by the products vets tell us are safe and effective. The sad fact is, some common veterinary practices are harming our dogs. Vets today have too many drugs, vaccines and chemicals at their disposal and they’re overly willing to dispense them. The worst part is, they hold no accountability for their actions. In short, they can and do ignore vaccine label recommendations or prescribe harmful or unnecessary drugs and we pet owners have no recourse. I believe that the most common and most harmful veterinary practice is over- vaccination. Not only do the vaccines cause a lot of damage in our dogs, but nearly every vaccine vets give our dogs is unnecessary. [Know if your dog is being vaccinated too often with this simple guide. Click Here] Pay attention to that sentence: nearly every vaccine given to our dogs is useless – they get no benefit but all of the risk. How could this happen? How can vets cause so much disease and devastation in our dogs without even knowing it? Vets Don’t Understand Immunology or Vaccines I paraphrase Dr Ronald Schultz, the leading veterinary immunologist when I say that vets are not prepared to make vaccine decisions. In the March 2012 issue of Dogs Naturally, we published an article where we interviewed various vets on their thoughts and experience with vaccines.
