Diseases CAUSE problems, end of story. Yes, there is a CHANCE of contracting the disease outside of vaccinating. However it is FAR more likely than the dog is damaged from the disease in the vaccine than contracting it naturally.
On the other side, our holistically raised dogs (min. vaccines to NO vaccines and dogs RECOVERING from vaccines) unless they are experiencing INHERITED vaccinosis (vaccine damage inherited from their parents) do not exhibit ANY signs of neurological damage. They have an eery human-like intelligence, excellent obedience, gorgeous conformation, never have worms, fleas or ticks, their feces disintegrate within two days because there are no undigested carbohydrates in their diet. They are in simply terms at the PEAK of health and wellness. WE DO NOT HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS. Our biggest fear is that someone will STEAL one of our dogs.
After seeing the extensive physical and psychological damage in pets that so many people claim is NORMAL I can say in all honesty that they are several ants short of a picnic comparitively. I believe there have been failures and successes when people "try to do it holistically" just like there are failures and successes when people "try to diet" and do it haphazardly. When there has been a complete change in the vetrinary practices, diet and chemical environment that we raise our animals and children in, there is a massive positive change for the better.
Jen, your puppy is housebroken at 11 weeks old. She is a delight to be around, sits on command, never whines or cries, gets along well with everyone. Thank you again. Your dogs are clearly a cut above the rest. |
Sorry, but, I beg to differ with you. As I said, my dogs all had healthy long lives, and I know it wasn't from the food we were feeding them(all of them were on pedigree, purina, etc). I never over vaccinated, but, I believe they do need their initial shots, I'm NOT going to take a chance of a puppy getting parvo or any other ilnesses that are common for pups to get. As I said before, there are a lot of people that herbal remedies do NOT work for, me being one.
