Hi Nancy,
Do you notice a kind of glazed over look in the eyes when they tell you this? Almost like they've said it a hundred times before? Any dollar signs visible in the eyes?
It's the same lack of rational reasoning that keeps vets vaccinating annually, even though it's been publicized in every vet journal for more than 20 years that this practice lacks merit, is risky, and should stop. This, coming from the experts, immunologists, even the vet schools and specialty organizations, like the Feline Practitioners.
And most have no idea about building resistance naturally. They've been trained to think it takes drugs and vaccines to keep an animal "well," even though the outcome from that approach is failing them left and right.
