who feeds their hogs to their dogs?

Great topic! i agree with just about all of whats been posted here. i only have one word of caution. Rabies (not pseudorabies) is a real threat here in texas. The percentage of skunks that test positive is amazing. i have tested 5 skunks in the past year and all were positive. Exposure to the 5 high risk rabies animals for our dogs is crazy high. Now, i also believe that we way overvaccinate for this disease. My example is this...In my job, we are required to receive pre-exposure shots for rabies. we then have our titer checked every year to ensure that we still have an acceptable amount of immunity to the disease.

I have been doing this 10 years nearly and received the shots about that long ago. i have had my titer checked every year since and my levels are still good. never had a booster.

the last couple of human rabies cases were from domestic animals. Puppies no less! they were sold at the local walmart. Just something to think about. Vaccines are most likely detrimental to your dogs when overdone. but if you get rabies YOU DIE!
