ALL DISEASES CAN BE EASILY AVOIDED WITH PROPER AND TIMELY VACCINATIONS. THE BEST VACCINE WITH THE MOST AVAILABLE COVERAGE IS THE CANINE 8/1. IF YOU PLAN ON VACCINATING YOUR SELF, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU ASK YOUR VETERINARIAN OR PHARMACIST WHICH VACCINE YOUR PET NEEDS. SOME BREEDS ARE ALLERGIC TO THE LEPTOSPIROSIS VACCINE (I.E. WOLF AND SOME MINIATURE BREEDS). MOST CANINE VACCINES ARE AVAILABLE WITH OR WITHOUT LEPTO. YOU CERTAINLY DO NOT NEED YOUR PET TO HAVE AN ALLERGIC REACTION AT HOME, SINCE YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE ANTIDOTE. ALSO REMEMBER YOU DOG DOES NEED PROTECTION AGAINST LYME AND RABIES IN MOST STATES.
