Hi Esther
I'm in the UK and we've had the 6 month quarantine laws forever until recently when they relaxed it to 3 weeks! One heluver jump. (This is for import/export, no legal requirement for any vax in this country although you'd be lucky to board your dog without basics).
I've not vaccinated at all for 3 years now and hope to continue this way, no more taking the dogs to France but I've decided its no big deal, the wine's getting more expensive over there anyway............
I use 4 different vets. I'm now a Kennel Club Accredited breeder so I need to use a specialist vet for annual eye tests, another to get my pups docked and microchipped, I have a homeopathic one that I see for annual health checks, homeopathic vaccination certificates and anything that I am worried about, and the local one for absolute emergencies.
These are the guys that send me postcards and leaflets sponsored by Phizer to tell me the kids vaccinations are due, I post them in the bin and they never ask me when I go, so I still use them for blood tests and cheek swabs that have to be signed off by a vet.
So, keep your head down, no questions require no answers and don't divulge information that they don't need ie I raw feed as well.....
Hope this helps
Alison
