Confused about which vaccines your pet really needs? You’re not alone.
In this episode, host Amy Castro talks with Dr. Jeff Grognet, veterinarian and author, to bring clarity to one of the most debated topics in pet care—vaccinations. They break down what core and non-core vaccines actually protect against, what side effects and risks to watch for, and how to build a custom vaccine plan that fits your pet, not a one-size-fits-all schedule.
You’ll learn:
• The difference between core and non-core vaccines
• What side effects and immune risks to discuss with your vet
• How to balance protection with safety through smarter scheduling
• Why open communication with your veterinarian matters most
This conversation gives you the facts—not fear—so you can make confident, informed choices about your pet’s health.
