Do people think it’s normal to have sick dogs?

Sure seems to be a new question about dogs throwing up and coughing and skin issues and allergies and one illness after the other on this site. Why do you suppose that is? Has anyone ever thought … man this should not be normal or this common? The vets office parking lots are full daily all day.. WHY?
Nutrition, over vaccination, over medicating in the name of prevention? I assure you there IS a reason and it is NOT normal every day issues dogs should be having. Why do you think dogs are so sick?

I have checked him out for fleas and mites and found nothing. I give him a bath weekly with a tearless dog shampoo…is this okay?
