Comments on Rabies Vaccine Waiver? Meh.

How do you stay under the radar if you have a reactive dog that barks at other dogs? Lucy (8 months) has never been in a fight but I'm afraid that, one day, the other dog may react aggressively toward her. This is the main reason I haven't taken Lucy hiking. I don't want to run into another dog on the trail who is off leash. It seems like a pet owner can only fly under the radar if you have a calm dog or you don't take your dog out at all? (I use treats to distract Lucy when she sees another dog across the street and we cross the street if a dog is coming head-on toward us.)

As I've stated before, I help people via first contact me PM on Facebook and then we exchange phone numbers to discuss only via the phone. Remember this law was made to protect humans, NOT your pets so continually getting rabies vaccines is a bunch of BS and I know the laws make it difficult but there are ways and educating yourself is your best bet. I will not post anything on FB, nor on websites/blogs or PM but I've already helped people this year and try every year---I give them the information and then its up to them if they want to proceed or not

Six years ago, I got my two dogs when they were five and three years and they had each been vaccinated by their owners every year of their lives. So no more vaccines for them.
While their vaccinations were current, I used those certificates to cross the border between US and Canada. Once they expired I created my own. I've been crossing the border for the entire six years I've had them, three years with actual certificates and three years without. I've been bringing these dogs and previous dogs over the border for the past 10 years. Maybe three times in these 10 years have I ever been asked for proof.
Once when asked, I handed over three certificates from three different vets for three different dogs and the customs agent made a cursory glance at the top one and handed them back.
I also carry copies of the titer testing I've had done And I doubt they would be able to read those any better than the rabies certificate. I also present myself with an air of confidence and I'm sure that helps as well.
I'm also fortunate that when I get my dog license, my municipality just asks me verbally if I have a certificate, checks the box and issues the license. If I asked for a hardcopy, I would just present the ones I have. It seems nobody is checking or calling offices to confirm.
It's been working for us.

Thanks so much, Dr. Will - this really concerns me, and I'm just relieved that we have a forum to speak about it openly and honestly.
I'm wondering: How do you handle teeth cleanings / extractions, when a vet requires proof of shots?
Based on what I've read here, getting a rabies titer is one option. My local vet does not do these, so I'll need to call around and see if I can get one.
If there are other suggestions (I'm in PA), I'm open - thanks so much.
Sure wish there was a "Vital Vet" here in my local area!

My husband and I have been planning to move to Hawaii but have found out that they require all pets entering the state to have had two rabies vaccines. Only one of my cats has ever had even one, the other two have never had any. Has anyone been able to get around this requirement?

I fly under the radar somewhat. I show, compete and travel with my dogs. I do not hide and sneak around, I take my dogs out and about. I believe that if you think about a problem you will get a problem. The energy of those thoughts are powerful.
I have a place to board my dogs, but training the trainers are mostly records for CYA. Stupid. In fact one puppy, in a puppy class I had with my puppy, ended up with Parvo. He was fully vaccinated. My puppy had been taken to different places a few minutes at a time. She had been out in the kennel with the adult dogs before I picked her up and had been taken to the grooming area with the breeder where she worked, at a large chain pet store. She is 2 now and has never been vaccintaed. She will start showing soon and does herding. I also have a nearly 6 yo male who also has never been vaccinated . He is a AKC GrCh. And a UKC Ch. So you see we do not stay home and hide. I also have never used HW chemicals, wormers, flea and tick poisons. I live in NC. So when people hear I do nothing ( in their eyes), they think I am endangering my dogs. Ha they are the ones endangering.

Here in Canada we need a dog licence, no rabies no licence....but that works both ways. No dog licence means no rabies shots! I'm in a rural area so we don't get bylaw enforcement coming knocking at the door like they do in the city. Having more than one vet is also helpful, " the other vet gave the rabies shot"....lol

I have run a groom and home board service out of my home for 25 years. I never ask for a vaccine record. I've never said, right out, I don't need proof of vaccines. Somehow, over the years, I became known for having a pesticide free, healthy environment to care for your dog. It was a discreet, "under the radar" , understanding. I started getting all word -of -mouth referrals from clients that were looking for alternative care. This was long before I became a naturopath.
The moral of the story? Discretion is the better part of valor. As an energy worker, I now know that whatever vibrations I send out to the universe... return! Its very cool.

I only disagree on one point. I don't believe vaccines confer immunity to anything. Also, that first vaccination has been the last, for some puppies and kittens, because it killed them outright (as opposed to manifesting disease/disability at a later date). Vaccines are poison, period, and should be abolished (except, being such big business for huge industries, that's unlikely, at least at this time).
There are ways to prevent disease, and injecting toxic chemicals, combined with biological waste products from other species, isn't it. It was discovered at least 80 years ago, and verified many times since (but not shared with the public) that appropriate dosage of Vitamin C kills viruses and bacteria, INCLUDING rabies virus.

Funny that you should be talking about this subject as I was going to go to my vet for 2 of my dogs exemptions.
My Rocky has cancer,fibrosarcoma that I'm sure was from rabies vaccine. My other dog,Tamina had a very bad reaction to the rabies vaccine. She had a swelling on her back leg that lasted for 3 months.
I quess I will tell the people that license that Tamina went back to her breeder to show for a year and that Rocky is no longer with me.
I refuse to stick any more vaccine in these two dogs and that is all I'm saying.
Some would say that rabies vaccine only causes cancer in cats but I beg to differ.

We have a young vet in our area,,,that says if your dogs not around other dogs leave him or her alone,,,and he does make house calls,,,when needed
so thankful and Blessed for him,,so we don't repeat rabies vaccinations
this dog had the usual when she was born,,,but not since,,,she was born with red mange,,,that granny got rid of using natural ingredients,,,
Thank you,,, Dr.Falconer,,,,for all the great articles,,,glad to be in the pack

No problem flying under radar so far and don't have her groomed, but there is a chance I may need to board her for a few days soon as my normal 3 stay at home options are not available. They ask for shots to be current . Now what?

I don't lie, beg or plead...I say NO and mean it. My poor animal has had all the jabs she's ever getting. I'd get bug eyed and scream if I had to, but since the vet sees the damage the repeated vaccines have done to my poor kitty, I don't really need to.
NESARA, anyone? The tyranny is about to end.
The Truth About Vaccines is running right now, a MUST WATCH. What a timely post, doc!

This isn't about vaccinations but they just diagnosed my 10 pound Miniature Pinscher with prostrate cancer by injecting a needle in him and withdrawing enough tissue to be able to consider it cancer. She put him on .5 ml once a day of piroxicam and and a half of a 25 benedryl twice a day. She said it was slow moving. Is there anything else I can do for him to give him the longest good life possible? I saved this dog as a newborn and bottle fed him, and carried him in my shirt in the winter. I love him very much and this has just wiped me out emotionally. I would appreciate any advice I can get for his benefit. He is on a natural air dried meat food from Only Natural that has no carbs. Thank you very much. God Bless your website. I need it! Ms. Jonnie Allert

I have avoided animal control ...
I am very careful to stay under the radar.....
Told an old vet to where her visits and rabies vaccines, I no longer have the dog!!!
