They are concerned about it spreading to other people though. Well nobody outside gets to touch my dog, (social distancing, hello?) so no danger there. And I will not be getting her vaccinated either.

But not all dog owners are so protective. Regularly when I walk in the park I see dog owners chatting and their dogs making close contact with each other.

Re: Vaccinations for animals

It's time the vets had a new Range Rover, so this sounds like a good money spinner.

Thank you Scott, but I would want a lot more evidence than that before I'd even think of having my dogs done.

Re: Vaccinations for animals

They are looking into it.

If my dog has any chance of catching covid, then I most certainly would have the injection.

The risk would be taken, just as it was when I was injected.

Regardless if it cost me money or not.
