Vaccines And Canine Cancer

By: canine cancer center Home | Home-and-Family | Pets


There is a great deal of controversy when it comes to the use of vaccines in puppies and full-grown dogs. In fact, many experts believe that vaccines can lead to dog cancer. Of course, we all know that vaccines offer puppies immunity against a wide variety of diseases. Further, most veterinarians vaccinate their own pets. Would they do that it vaccines were truly toxic? The answer to this question is up for debate.

Recent studies have indicated that vaccinations can cause puppies to develop antibodies that actually fight beneficial elements in their own bodies, including their DNA. Of course, damage to these vital parts of the body can potentially lead to dog cancer. Other studies have shown that dogs can get cancer at the actual site of the vaccination injection. This fact is also true for cats as well.

While most veterinarians advocate vaccines for dogs and cats, those who practice alternative medicine are far less likely to recommend vaccines. For example, homeopathic doctors do not recommend vaccinations for dogs. They believe that the harm these shots can cause, as far as causing dog cancer and other diseases, far outweigh any potential benefits.

Vaccinations are intended to stimulate the immune system. However, they can also confuse the body. As a result, the body can overact to harmless substances too. Many doctors believe that in the end vaccines create more issues than they actually prevent.

Of course, the law requires vaccines. Further, if you want to board your animals during a vacation, most kennels will require proof of these vaccinations. When it comes to dogs and vaccines, you are somewhat between a rock and hard place. As a pet owner, you have the responsibility to keep your dog as healthy as possible, and obviously making a decision that could lead to dog cancer is the last thing that you would want to do.

Holistic doctors generally recommend that if you absolutely must give your animals vaccines, you should do so in a careful and deliberate manner. Many will advocate giving initial vaccines to puppies, but then to skip giving vaccines to adult dogs. Evidence points to the fact that yearly vaccines can lead to dog cancer treatment. According to many experts, they are truly not necessary.

Additionally holistic veterinarians recommend skipping vaccinating animals when they are already stressed out. Also vaccinations in conjunction with surgery are to be avoided. It is also important to avoid giving dogs different vaccinations at the same time.

The topic of vaccinations for dogs is one that is a subject of increasing debate. There is unlikely to be one simple answer anytime soon. As a pet owner, however, you can definitely talk to multiple veterinarians and find out various opinions. Educating yourself on this topic can help you raise a healthy pet who is free of dog cancer or any other diseases.
