So is all this having an effect on our pets too?

Aluminum has been long known to be neurotoxic, with mounting evidence that chronic exposure is a factor in many neurological diseases, including dementia, autism, and Parkinson’s disease.

However, definitive scientific proof is difficult to establish due to the the lack of longitudinal studies, as well as pushback from industries that use aluminum in their products. Despite the shortage of conclusive studies, mounting scientific evidence leaves little room for doubt.

Case in point: a new case study from Keele University in the UK unequivocally shows high levels of aluminum in the brain of an individual exposed to aluminum at work, who later died from Alzheimer’s disease.

While aluminum exposure has been implicated in Alzheimer’s and a number of other neurological diseases, this case claims to be “the first direct link” between Alzheimer’s disease and elevated brain aluminum following occupational exposure.

Continued in the link with lists of all kinds of items and foods that have aluminum in them. . .

It wouldn't surprise me.  I don't know if aluminum is used in pet vaccines, but it probably is, since it's used in human vaccines as well.

Here's a link to Dr. Mercola's article from a year ago (not pet-related, but supportive of the link DeeDee posted):

Yep. That's why I thought it was important enough to post even though it was really about humans. I can't imagine it not being a problem with our pets too.
