Dog behavior trouble and annual vaccines discussed
A reader asks how to break a Pomeranian’s habit of constant growling and notes about dog psychology limits. The columnist says some dogs are inherently grouchy, that therapy is limited, and that understanding may require prior owner input. Another reader asks about canine distemper and hepatitis vaccines. The answer supports annual vaccines after 12 weeks, due to reduced disease exposure and natural immunity, recommending yearly shots against distemper hepatitis and leptospira.
