Stop the Shots!: Are Vaccinations Killing Our Pets? Book Description
Most pet owners aren't aware of the dangers in animal vaccinations that have been discovered in recent years. In this compact, easy-to-understand volume, John Clifton explains the very real risks involved every time a dog or cat gets a shot. The major veterinary associations now agree that vaccinations can trigger all sorts of maladies, from allergies to cancer - but most pet caretakers (and many veterinarians, it seems) haven't gotten the word. This is an important book for every pet owner to read. In a conversational, direct, non-technical voice it guides the reader in formulating an intelligent approach to animal vaccinations. Clifton lays out all the major issues: whether to vaccinate or not, which shots to give and which to avoid, how to know if and when a shot should be repeated. And, importantly, the risks in over-vaccinating. Holistic as well as orthodox medical opinions are presented. Despite the title, readers are not advised flat out to abandon vaccinations. Rather, they are encouraged to learn about the risks and benefits - and "stop the shots" until they are fully informed IF YOU HAVE A DOG OR CAT, DON'T VACCINATE until you read
this book! - all you need to know about vaccinating and NOT vaccinating your pet.
- how to tailor a plan for YOUR pet.
- what LEADING VETERINARY ORGANIZATIONS are saying about pet vaccination dangers.
- what your veterinarian may NOT tell you! *Vaccinations can CAUSE diseases.
*Vaccines do NOT improve the immune system.
*Annual "booster shots" are a BAD idea.
*Many breeders choose NO VACCINATIONS!
*Many blame pet ALLERGIES on shots.
*Shots can trigger CANCER.

Reviews "Now everything is starting to make sense!! Why my Schnauzer got cancer at the age of five and died. Why my friends Maltese die of Encephalitis at a very young age and why so many dogs I know of are getting Lupus, Kidney and Liver diseases!! Just to name a few! I have purchased several copies of this book and have handed them out to anyone who has shown an interest. This is an easy to read book and even the lamest of laymen can understand the very important points of this book. Just stop and think about it. How can a 7 in one vaccine given to a 6 week old baby pup improve it's immune system?!!! After reading this book I will NEVER vaccinate my pets again!! Now with that said this may not be the case for you and Mr. Clifton points that out. However I do feel we all for the most part over vaccinate our pets if we follow most Veterinarian advise. After reading this book you will know what's best for you and your pet. An absolute must read for every pet owner!!"
-C. Reynolds "This book is a MUST read!
I had the pleasure of being a vet tech for seven years under an "old school" veternarian who NEVER PUSHED UNNEEDED VACCINES. Unfortunatley, when he retired I was left to work for his two "new school" collegues who pushed vaccines, experimental medications/anesthetics, used brute force instead of psychology.
I was in the front line when injection-site sarcomas were being tracked by the AAHA (right rear rabies!)...I've seen animals "crash" after vaccines (especially cats and ferrets). I've also seen how "old" vets treated vaccines (prevention) and how "new" vets now treat vaccines ($$- it's a business). Sad. Very Sad.
READ THIS BOOK...while it's not a pedagogical text on immunology and vaccines, it is an easy read for the non-technical that has a great reference section and will provide the caring pet owner with food for thought."
