Hi, you have entered into the latest debate in dogs, whether we are actually over-vaccinating our dogs as they get older. To be safe, you can have a blood test run (they call it titers) to actually check to see how much immunity your dog has from the certain diseases they are normally vaccinated for. Then you can decide if you really want to vaccinate the dog or not. Titers are always the safest when questioning whether to vaccinate or not. Most vets would recommend to play it on the safe side and vaccinate and not take the chance of your dog getting (and passing on to other dogs) some of the deadly diseases like Parvo or Distemper.  If you ever have watched a dog die from one of those diseases, you would never question about vaccinating your dogs.  There is a lot of suffering involved.  
As far as foods, There are several "natural" dog foods that have actually made dogs sick.  I personally have had a couple of clients whose dogs got ill and malnourished from a certain "natural" food that has been sold for several years.  In fact this company has had several lawsuits against it for the false claims it gives on its foods.  Most of your major pet store brand foods are excellent quality foods.  In fact most of your big names like Purina, Pedigree etc.  have  their own research facilities where they put the foods they make through rigorous testing to make sure that it is good for dogs at different stages of their lives.  Walthram (Pedigree) has a huge facility that is one of the most respected facilities for their work with feeds and dogs.  Hope this helps.
