Dogs
All about dogs - dog breeds, dog training and behavior, news affecting dog owners or handlers, puppy pics, etc.
Rules (Will be refined later on).
-
Don't be a dick. This should cover most things, just keep in mind that everyone started somewhere and try to be helpful rather than rude or judgmental.
-
No personal attacks based on training style or tools.
Discussion of balanced training including proper use of aversives is allowed here. -
All breeds and mixes are welcome. You can criticize backyard breeding practices but don't pile on people because they own a specific breed or prefer purebreds or mixed breeds.
-
Do not support backyard breeders or puppy mills. Please do not link to or suggest buying from high volume breeders or those with an obvious lack of standards and testing.
-
Do not help or support fake service animals. Please do not encourage people to buy fake service dog vest or ESA letters to get around rental or other restrictions & do not give advice on how to misrepresent a dog as a service or support animal.

My dog is allergic to the rabies shot but her vet gives it to her in two doses and we load her up on benedryl before the shot. And I do the same for a few of my own vaccines due to my own allergies. The work around isn't perfect but I'm glad to have options. Some vaccines are just worth the risk.
That's the right thing to do even with your dog's situation. A few days of dog discomfort is sad to watch, but rabies is much, much worse.
yeah we do benedryl as well and that tends to help. We tend to use it when she has any iffy stuff like the poop pills or if she eats something off the ground.
