"Study reveals widespread hesitancy among US dog owners towards canine vaccines"

A study conducted by Boston University's School of Public Health in partnership with YouGov has found that a significant majority of dog owners in the United States are hesitant about vaccinating their pets. The study revealed that 37% of owners consider dog vaccines to be unsafe, 22% view them as ineffective, and 30% deem them unnecessary. This hesitancy increases the risk of disease transmission for dogs, their owners, and veterinarians. The findings parallel the anti-vaccination movement observed during the COVID-19 pandemic and highlight the need for education and awareness regarding the importance of canine vaccines.
