Vaccinations / Over-Vaccinations

Poor Luna's ear fell off...from over vaccination. 
This is my friends dog, she is a very sweet little thing.  But should be all black and have both ears!  Unfortunately, she was over vaccinated as a pup...she lost patched of hair that grew back white, and her ear turned into a scab and fell off!  Holy Shit, are you serious?

It is time for 12 week vaccinations!  Have you done your research?  Our vet recommends a booster of Parvo and Distemper.  NO RABIES, NO KENNEL COUGH

KENNEL COUGH is recommended (and sometimes mandatory) for boarding or doggy day care.  Get this vaccination when it is necessary.
RABIES isn't necessary in the city, and is really tough on their little systems.  If you cross the boarder with your pup, you will have to get the vaccine because it is a requirement for taking your dog to the USA.  But our vet doesn't do Rabies Vaccines until the pup is 16 weeks.  

There are many horror stories of over vaccination.  A mastiff in our neighbourhood was paralyzed for 6 months, and now barley walks and is unsocialized because she was an injured dog the beginning of her life.  Please ask questions and be educated about vaccinations.  I don't meant to scare anyone but it is a serious issue!
