I have no option but to occasionally use a boarding kennel for my dogs, none I have spoken to will allow dogs in without an up to date vaccination card and also don't accept homeopathic vaccines, what advice could anyone offer in this situation?

[CHCRob]

Some people ring around (or visit) kennels and give them the facts and sometimes find that one will allow it.

If you have a sympathetic vet, you can get a letter to state that your dog doesn't need them, stating the facts as per the AVMA, etc etc or if your dog is not in full health a booster would be contrary to vaccine licensing - that no unhealthy animal should be vaccinated.

Another option is a dog/house sitter.

Not always easy - keep trying, keep educating!!

This lady knows her stuff, I lost a puppy 8hrs after vaccination she had a fit and died, I asked the vet if the vaccine could have caused it, the answer was no. I did not believe him. So how come she was running round playing and full of life before the vaccine?

I now know of other people who's poor dogs have suffered with epileptic fits within hours of being vaccinated and have to provide life long medication for them all this heart break just because the vets won't be honest with them.

Please,please,please LISTEN to this. If you had ever seen a healthy puppy become so ill within 24hours of the vaccine and eventually die you would NEVER vaccinate. There are homeopathic alternatives -please USE THEM!

8 weeks 2 days old, it was her first vaccine.

How old was the pup?

Homeopathy is NOT vaccination. It's a blief in magic that does more harm than good.

[RADIANTandRAW]

I vaccinate homeopathically and use herbs. I also have them on an 80% raw meaty/bones (barf) diet, which makes them very healthy = strong immune system.

Educate yourselves, not medicate.

Great video!
