Pet Vaccination Essentials: What Every Pet Parent Needs to Know

In this episode of Starlight Pet Talk, host Amy Castro interviews Dr. Jeff Grognet, a practicing veterinarian and author, about vaccinations for pets. They discuss the difference between core and non-core vaccines, the risks of over-vaccination, and the potential side effects of vaccines. Dr. Grognet emphasizes the importance of considering the risk of the disease and the age of the pet when deciding on a vaccination schedule. He also mentions alternative options such as homeopathic nosodes. The conversation concludes with advice on how to have conversations with veterinarians about vaccination decisions.
