This is simply an alternative. Before going hog wild on vaccinations and supporting the pharmaceutical companies that have no interest in your pets welfare, please read:

I do understand that some things are necessary but I also think prevention is the key to good health. I am required to vaccinate my dogs ONCE rabies and I worm them myself but not as often as recommended. I have a pet pig and if I followed normal vet suggestions I would be giving her vaccinations all the time including monthly (or more often depending where you live) worm med that would actually shorten her life. I don't. I focus on food, lots of clean water, herbs and good care- clean stall, brushing etc. Once a year I might take a poop sample to a vet to look at. I've had blood drawn a few times and shes always checked out wonderfully.

I have older dogs that are breeds that they claim should die sooner. Their slower but I swear they act like pups sometimes.

If you don't have the experience or ability to study and research then perhaps find vets that subscribe to natural remedies and will work with you on a program to keep them safe.
