Way too many vaccines! Way too many vaccines for children and all the problems they cause.

Chemical for parasites, doggy daycare to over stimulate and garbage kibble

It’s so sad what is done to our pets because our lives have become to chaotic to give them the quality time and attention they need.

I have friends who have never vaccinated their dogs and the dogs have a great life. The holistic vets do not vaccinate their dogs, and they were trained in the conventional vet schools, but they figured it out. It’s not rocket science.

I am one of those “holistic vets”. My immunology professor, Dr Ronald Schulz, taught is anout vaccine titiers in the mid1990s. I have recommended titers over vaccines for the past 25 years

The vaccines are causing brain issues in dogs because of the gut brain axis they breach!!

I follow several holistic vets who are against vaccinations. They lose their license for speaking out, and then they become consultants to people wanting to raise healthy pets.

A couple more reasons I see. Actually some are overwhelming dogs for the sake of socialization. Too many don’t seek guidance from or is and go to google. Too many shock collar trainers who traumatize dogs. Owners don’t teach their dogs calmness instead too busy.

Taking your dog to a dog park and throwing them in with a group of dogs they have never met, whilst scrolling on your phone is NOT socialization. I mentioned "proper socialization and training". I agree, the busyness is a symptom of much that is wrong in our society. Our dogs are the canaries in the coal mine.

I agree that diet impacts behaviors. If we saw, of course, less vaccines being used, and dogs being fed a species appropriate diet there may be less behavior issues.

Just an add on to this...I think that humans can cause anxiety and stress for a dog. Dogs can pick up on and sense when we carry stress around and that impacts them negatively, too.
