Holistic medicine cannot replace vaccinations and other forms of conventional medicine but it may offer altenative therapy options to pets who aren't responding to traditional treatment or cannot tolerate some drugs Ignoring evidence-based options can be very dangerous to pet owners and their pets if a pet owner chooses to completely avoid conventional medicine. For example, vaccinations are proven to be an effective means of disease prevention and should not be ignored despite the fact that many strictly holistic veterinarians may not offer them. This is particularly true in the case of rabies vaccines since rabies may be passed from pets to humans and is considered fatal to both. Completely avoiding the use of proven medications and surgeries to treat illness can be very harmful to a pet.

Please help! I told my vet i thought my dog had fleas. He was on simpleguard . I saw a reaction with bravecto. Im a raw feeder but i live in ct. I want my pet to be on natural products. Unfortunately my vet insisted my german shepherd had allergies not fleas . I couldnt watch him suffer and i gave in and let her do cytopoint shot. Well the fleas were the issue as tore out the carpet i got attacked! Now im sure of it and i cant get rid of them. What Can i do ? I hope cytopont didnt cause any problems as i never believed it was allergies. I bathed with natural products. I have also vacumned every few days , waShed and dried everything high heat including bedding but im exhasted and still he has fleas! I have lyme disease and have been dealing with it for 14 yrs. In ct. Ticks are everywhere. I need a new vet . There arent very many holistic vets close to me. How do i deal with first getting rid of fleas and second can cytopoint hurt my dog from that one shot? I forgot to mention i used diamateous earth and bought a steam cleaner. Please 😢 im putting my immune system in flareup mode . Thanks ellen

[@ellemarierolfe7518]

I forgot to say he also has fibrotic myopathy in the gracilis inner thigh and i need to keep him healthy and not cause it to progress by having him exposed to uneeded vacines and poision .

[@watchmoivies123]

So we all have to make the decision that lives in Connecticut or in a high tick area because tick borne disease can also kill our dogs so we do have to put chemical on them. It’s a chance but we’re doing nothing. It’s the worst chance if anyone has any help, please post and thank you very much.

[@oliversmom]

my own vet told me she does not revaccinate her dogs, and only gives the repeat rabies shots because it would be illegal not to. And she is a traditional vet, not a holistic one. She won't push for non-core vaccines. I love her. I waited till my puppy was 24 weeks to make sure I only had to get his Distemper and Parvo shots once, and she used the Boehringer Ingleheim Recombitek vaccines because they were the the only ones available with no adjuvants. I looked all over to find a vet service who uses them. Rabies at 8 months with the Merial IMRAB TF thimerosal-free vaccine, and I am hoping to preserve his health.

[@Sukijopa]

"Core" or non-core, aII are poison, and I'm with the vets who say NONE.

[@Keyspoet27]

My vet is also mostly traditional, but open to natural remedies, and appreciated it when I lent her my copies of Juliette di Bairicli-Levy's books "The Complete Herbal for Farm Animals" and "The Complete Herbal for Dogs and Cats." My previous vet seriously bucked me, when our Truffle kitty showed up as an emaciated and dehydrated maybe six week old kitten at a neighbor's house, and I didn't want to give her antibiotics, since I was already giving her milk kefir to build up her immunity. But even he allowed that, if indeed I was giving her homemade milk kefir, that he'd adopt a wait and see approach. She thrived, is now nearly four years old, and has never needed antibiotics, or anything other than wellness checks. The only vaccines I give my animals are thimerosol-free three-year rabies shots.

@eddiesaviarycom-fu9me Slightly, from what I understand, but nowhere near three times a regular dose. Realistically, MOST vaccines don't need to be given annually - if you get a titer test, and your pet still has good antibodies, the vaccine is not needed. Unfortunately, most titer test aren't cheap, some are hard to find, and not all who require vaccines accept the results of titer tests - despite them being entirely scientifically valid.

Check out Fleasgone tags. Once the fleas are under control, the tag, on your pets collar, works with the electro magnetism of their heart to repel fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. There are 2 year and 5 year protection options. I ordered one for my standard poodle puppy to try. I will be ordering one for my cattledog and cat as well. No chemicals.

Do not ever use Seresto collars. My Maltese developed neurological issues - basically necrosis and led to his death. He didn’t have to die. He wouldn’t have if it weren’t for Seresto. Vet denied that the root cause was Seresto but I am adamant that it was. Vets need better and up to date training based on current studies not 20 years ago. I have a 5 month old tiny Bichon and she had the core vaccines and our vet adjusts the dosage due to her size - as it should be. I won’t inject her with anything else. Now, I just need to find a natural preventative for fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes.

My dog wears a ceresto it’s the only thing that keeps the tics from infesting and biting her body 😢 there’s a drastic difference im plucking dozens of tics off her per week vs only a few or none with the collar .

[@NickFrom1228]

Natural is better, usually, but sometimes it is ineffective. For instance, fleas. I've tried every natural method to the extreme and I have to say, fleas are hard to control. But I have found a middle ground. If you do NOT have cats then you can handle fleas easily with permethrin (the synthetic form of a chemical found in a kind of daisy or geranium, I don't recall what flower.). However do not use on the animal, use it on the bedding, and key places that the fleas are likely to come in contact. Never let them come in contact with it when wet. It must be completely dry before the pets can come into contact. If humans are being attacked by fleas you can do some targeted things that make a huge difference. Spray flooring, especially carpet with permethrin and a growth hormone. I also get the permethrin for clothing (used by hikers for mosquitos and ticks etc) and spray around the sides of mattresses, not the top where you sleep. Use your clothes dryer on high heat for 10 minutes or so to kill fleas on sheets/clothes whatever. If you have cats, do not use permethrin since it is toxic to cats in a very bad way.

[@leineyl.9772]

That is yeast. I'd give him good probiotics. Keep him very dry. Look into dog yeast & how to control naturally. Just changing this overgrowth in his system. Antibiotics would only make it worse. I've seen steroids fix the problem, but they can't stay on them because it will ruin their immune system & let disease take over, like cancer. Carbs and sugar, that makes kibble hard, feed the yeasts. Don't use oatmeal shampoo because it keeps the skin moist. You don't want this because yeasts grow in moist dark places, like the ears, in paws & skin. It's so itchy and miserable.

[@HumanimalChannel]

Yes, because what they do not talk about, is that fleas as soon as they bite your dog (or cat etc) BREED immediately, and lay eggs. Very soon you can have 250,000 . The larvae lay in the environment for months, a year and they HATCH out and land on the animal and the cycle just keeps repeating. So you will just keep seeing fleas consistently Unless you kill them in the environment as well. And if the dog isnt treated then it can just keep happening. When you give monthly treatments, not capstar knockdown but simparica trio or nexgard spectra etc... then if a flea does bite.. it dies. It doesnt breed. You simply dont get the infestations! Its a lovely kind thought to use something natural to wash your dog for fleas but, it doesnt interrupt the lifestyle of the flea and make a flea free environment. I do keep up with flea tick and worm treatment but, not with vaccines after the initial ones.

Simple. NONE. The healthiest dog I ever owned was never given a shot. Still intact. He is sweet and gentle and does not "mark" his territory and he is an ideal weight. I can't say that about my other dogs I have had throughout my life. It took me 10 years to figure it out and realize Vets are brainwashed by big pharma.

In the past, this doctor has recommended using the brand interceptor if you absolutely have to use medication's. I understand it. If you live in a place where there's a high risk of these diseases caused by mosquitoes, etc. it does feel like you were caught between a rock and a hard place. Also, I'll use Springtime garlic tablets. Can you look into that? Also, that is an option.

If you feed him some Brewer's/nutritional yeast, it exudes something through the skin that deters biting insects, and helps a lot with heavy infestations. I used to give it to my Newfoundland, and she had a serious flea allergy, and the only side effect is increased energy and a healthier coat, as it is full of B vitamins. I've given it to many dogs since with great results.

What I do naturally for flea and tick prevention is use Amber resin bead necklaces.... that's unfinished Amber. I was very skeptical when I ordered them.... I have two big dogs. I ordered them from Baltic Essentials. They've been on them for 3 months now and nothing. I thought they wouldn't last a week . Very strong and knots in between each bead .. leather closure .. I looked it up and they say that the vibration from the Amber on the fur makes an uncomfortable living environment for fleas and ticks. $25 and it's supposed to last a year. Great!

This was so informative! I will always use natural remedies first but I do want to have Capstar on hand. Is it an oral? It seems everything I am finding is that Capstar is oral. I want to make sure that is the correct one? Thank you!

[@Bonjourdoodles]

capstar is an oral pill, and if you have a bad flea infestation you might have to give a second round of Capstar to eradicate the new fleas that hatched from the eggs. Capstar kills the adult fleas only, doesn’t destroy the eggs. Once you have no more fleas hatching you can use the topical products from Wondercide and while you are using the capstar, start treating your yard with the Wondercide yard treatment spray. Important fact: spray at dusk so the product will have all night to soak into your grasses and dirt, spray the tree trunks good too! Don’t use that spray during the day time because the sun will evaporate a good portion of it. Good luck!🐾

What about Heartworm prevention, is that also a pesticide and is there something else we can do for prevention?

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

Rachel has had another video with Dr. Judy. Her protocol is to do routine annual/semi-annual heartworm testing, none 😮 (yes, none!) of the monthly preventatives like Heartgard or Interceptor and the rest. She uses mosquito deterrents. Now take that advice and please do more research. If your dog(s) may have greater risk, maybe do the conventional recommendation of a monthly preventative and an annual or semi-annual heartworm test. Some areas are higher risk than others. Don't think because Dr. Judy skips the monthly preventative that you automatically should too. She is a vet! If her dogs come down with heartworms, she can treat at her cost. You will be paying whatever your vet charges clients. Heartworms are nothing to take lightly. Treatment is possible but not always successful. Heartworms are misery and highly fatal. Maybe Dr. Judy lives somewhere with lower risk. If unsure, do the monthly preventative and an annual hw test. In some areas like the US South heartworm prevelance in dogs is crazy! Many dogs get heartworms. Typically sadly these dogs that get hw's are outdoors and often neglected. Your dog may be well groomed and mostly indoors. But all it takes to get heartworms is mosquito exposure. Be careful. ❤

[@laurenmichero9003]

I have 3 dogs in Texas and mosquitoes are bad most of the year. I have mine on Heartgard. It’s the best of the Heartworm preventatives because it supposedly stays in their system for only a couple of days and they could eat the whole box and maybe have some GI upset. Flea and tick prevention you can go more natural but I’ve been told by multiple holistic vets that, if you live in hotspot areas, then Heartgard or interceptor (if you can’t use Heartgard because you have a shepherd breed or dogs with white footed gene) are the best options for conventional Heartworm prevention.

@@DeniseTimmons the best thing you can do is to keep your dog as healthy as possible and feed him/her a species appropriate diet. Fleas and parasites are not as attracted to healthy animals. Also conventional flea and tick treatments are not always effective and don’t actually kill the adult fleas. Several of them like Sentinel don’t even stop fleas from landing on your pet or biting or attaching to your pet. They kill the future larvae. There are natural sprays, shampoos, powders, etc that are pretty effective at repelling fleas so they don’t bother your pet or your yard.

I never use poisons on any of my animals because I was poisoned by pesticides. I also do not use vaccines and just keep them all confined so they are not exposed. I've had both my cats and dogs on part homemade natural no-grain diets for over 20 years. I feed them a combination of cooked and raw food with 10% very healthy non-grain kibble. Some of their food has garlic, but not all due to some being sensitive to garlic. (I will say that garlic cured my chickens of lice when they got them at a friend's) Along with being free of allergies and many types of problems due to these diets, I have NEVER had a problem with fleas or ticks since prior to 1991 when I did everything all conventional. Even though we live in a northern climate, we sometimes go south & they have never picked up anything more than no-seeums on occassion & only temporarily. I've found in my experience at least, that a healthy animal does not usually harbor or become overcome with pests. Try building up your pup's health by a better diet and see if things gradually or quickly improve without poisons. It's worth it, they are healthier and happier.

Tgey do shots, grooming, feed, supplements, vet bills like spaying and neutering surgeries, and other surgeries, depending upon why the animal was turned into the rescue.

it would be nice but when you’re required to license the dog regular rabies is required. Plus I have to board my dog when traveling and proof of annual shots are required.

I can understand your challenge as it is echoed by many. I respect others paths, but personally, will not vaccinate other than rabies for any reason. It is sometimes difficult to find natural groomers, & dog sitters that don't require vaccinated dogs but it is possible. Also I don't bring my dog to places dog parks that require said licenses. I need to have peace of mind regarding the care I give my dog. In contrast, my ignorance in the past gave me peace of mind when I adhered to The conventional vet care for my pets. But sadly lost several pets to cancer because I didn't know any better. I believe We're all doing the best we can with our current awareness and I wish you well on your path.

Treating your yard with beneficial nematodes is very good and one treatment lasts 2 years

[@Bonjourdoodles]

I was looking into that also, where do you buy your nematodes?

Yet, we give multiple different antigens to babies and kids throughout their childhood as part of the vaccine schedule., a great concern.
