Holistic Immunization Protocols for puppies and kittens

You may wish to follow a holistic approach in raising your puppy or kitten. This is a less intensive protocol where we seek to encourage natural immunity.

With the alternative vaccination protocols we use one-way vaccines (i.e. vaccines that contain one single antigen rather than multiple antigens), certain homeopathic medicines called nosodes, and titre testing. Vaccines are spread out over a longer time period and any reaction is closely monitored so as not to interfere with the maturing of the puppy's immune system.

For instance, if the puppy has a rash (which would be an immune reaction to grasses, pollens, insects, etc), vaccination is postponed until the rash is resolved.
