"If it were a magazine article, it would be one of the most important on health you'd ever want to clip, save, and pin to the fridge with magnets. "

Midwest Book Review      April 14, 2007

Enthusiastically recommended for animal owners and would-be owners

Despite its title, Stop the Shots!: Are Vaccinations Killing Our Pets? does not advocate stopping all pet vaccinations, and especially does not recommend stopping all vaccinations that protect from the most widespread and deadly infections like rabies, parvovirus and canine distemper for dogs, and panleukopenia and rhinotracheitis/calcivirus for cats.

"An important volume, one that was sorely needed "

The information is right on. While thoughtful vaccination protocols may be helpful for pets, thoughtless over-vaccination may clearly cost them their lives. I found this book to be well researched and balanced . . .

"Every pet owner needs to read this!"

If you think vaccines are magic bullets with no downside, think again. According to the author, vaccinations actually lower the immune system for a time, paving the way for all sorts of possible maladies - from allergies to cancer - to get a toehold. Every pet owner needs to read this!

"I suspected that over vaccination may have triggered her cancer. After reading Stop the Shots!, I believe it even more." 

The author of Stop the Shots! points out that over 50% of serious dog diseases happen within 90 days of the dog’s vaccination. When I lost one of my special dogs two years ago, I suspected that over vaccination may have triggered her cancer. After reading Stop the Shots!, I believe it even more. . .
