The consumer group choice is warning against many Australian veterinary specialists over-vaccinating the pets and completely ignoring the guidelines that are laid down for this purpose.

Elizabeth Hart said in a statement that she has been requesting the vets to stop over-vaccinating pets for the past two years because she believes that an adverse reaction to a vaccination killed her own pet dog, Sasha, in 2008.

She added that her dog had been put down and it was not what she expected and was very upsetting.

The same complain also comes from a lot of other pet owners who claim that their pets suddenly died unexpectedly after being vaccinated and the global authorities accept that there is a risk to these over-vaccinated animals.

“Vaccines should not be given needlessly. We should aim to reduce the vaccine load on individual animals in order to minimise the potential for adverse reactions to vaccine products,” state the World Small Animal Veterinary Association (WSAVA) guidelines.

Ms Hart also says, “Vets are just ignoring these new guidelines. This is a way of generating income. It's a way of making pet owners bring their pets back to the clinic every year.”
