I have five dogs. Three of them have reacted to the shots Banfield uses for rabies, distemper. My miniature poodle fell over in the parking lot before i got to my car. rapid breathing, and limp. My second dogs face swelled beyond recognition and broke out in hives, and the third dog has a permanent welt and discoloration on her hip. I think its time Banfield takes a look at the venders they use to buy there products from. They also charged me plenty to give my poodle shots to recover from the first shot that went bad!Not to mention she could have died. I have never had a dog in 30 years of ownership react to theses shots. But at Banfield three of my dogs had reactions in a year.? Yikes
It's actually quite common. A reaction can happen to an 8 week old puppy getting the first round, or a 6 year old dog getting its yearly. I actually have a friend who has a 4 year old yorkie that reacted last year for the first time, and a labradoodle that reacted to its 4th round at 5 months. It's not always the vaccine, it could be the pet.
