Comments on On The Importance of Thinking Different - Vital Animal® § The Natural Path

I am reading your blog while vacationing on the Big Island of Hawaii, so the reference to rabies in Hawaii was interesting. I was wondering where all of those mongoose came from - also lots of feral cats here, but I haven’t seen many stray dogs.
Thanks for the background information.

I too have not had either of my dogs vaccinated for years now. Two years ago I took my 9 year old American Bulldog for an evaluation of his symptoms, relating to CCD from all of my research. I had daily journals, video, etc of his behavior. Prior to that visit his vet never pressured me into flea, tick, heartworm, etc, medications and would even suggest natural remedies to use, he knew my dogs were raised on a raw food diet, pretty open minded veterinarian. Needless to say they didn't really need to see him in year's staying healthy. The last visit concerning his behavior (CCD) he realized his rabies vaccine was long overdue. I explained why I brought him in and didn't want any vaccinations. He refused to even look at my dog unless I had his rabies vaccine done first! Lectured me about the state law, as well as told me I was putting him in danger of rabies if my dog bit him! I listened to him patiently with my blood pressure rising and when he finished his demeaning speech to me, well it was my turn. Needless to say I was extremely enraged, let him know that nobody knows my dog better than I do, with a few other choice words. We then walked right out of his office never to return. I fired him right then and there! As angry as I was, I also felt confident in the knowledge I gained from you and had no problem standing up for my dog! It was actually liberating.
Thank you Dr. Will!
Btw my dog will be 12 soon, treating his CCD holistically and you would never know he had CCD.

Forgot to mention that I also stopped all vaccines for the past few years.

My Golden Retriever is off of Apoquel now, thanks to you!!! I am thrilled!!! ???? ???????? She is a completely different dog than she was a few years ago. Her sweet face still bears a few scars from her bloody wounds after scratching so much, but now she is doing very well. I weaned her off slowly so as not to put her immune system into a state of shock. She started raw food about 2 years ago. I saw improvement fairly soon, but knew it would be a process. I searched for answers for a long time; so glad I happened upon your site. I have learned so much along this journey, not only for my dog, but also for my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

Love your article. You made a difference and are still making waves of change for the better. I think everyone needs to learn from this. Make a positive change, even if the masses are all running in the wrong direction. Some will take notice, that there is a better, healthier, more effective way. I share your knowledge and VitalAnimal.com to every pet lover I meet or dog walkers on the street, the park, etc. I tell them this is the most informative site VitalAnimal.com for True Pet Health, etc. In the last few years, I have done almost a 360 degree turn to True Pet Health. No more vaccines, ever. We now use Nosodes to prevent disease. For our puppy, I purchased Parvo Nosodes, Distemper Nosodes, Rabies Nosodes and Lyme Tick Disease Nosodes. My puppy still went to puppy classes and is always socialized with other dogs, out on dog walks, dog walk events, etc. I now feed ground frozen raw meat, organs, green tripe and some bone, with NO HPP NO pressurization. Hard to find, but with searching, and looking on dog raw groups, i have found some excellent raw food suppliers, sometimes at livestock supply store in the freezer or online, and meet to pick up raw delivered monthly to each city, with lots of other true health pet owners, like myself. We no longer use tick flea pesticides. We use different alternatives now.
For any health issue for my pets or myself, I search online for the holistic, homeopathic or naturopathic alternative for any health issue. I love the Natural Path, there are so many natural things that work, and some work so well, I could now never be without them. I share whenever a pet owner might me open minded to true health. I hand out a sheet with VitalAnimal.com on it so they don't forget. Some are very happy as this gives them hope in providing better care for their pets. Many pet owners thank me, as they knew all these vaccines make pets sick, but they are scared of the masses, and are happy to find out there are other health minded pet owners who share passion for True Pet Health. Our pets depend on us, so we must learn the Natural Path to preserve their health.
The Natural Path is the only path to true health.

Great story and great information as always. Can’t wait to gain more knowledge. So far, the best homeopathic instructional course I have ever been involved with.

The pain and suffering experienced recently watching multiple animals die early on has inspired me to help animals at every level possible. I am now planning on starting a natural rearing breeding program. The believers need to continue to believe and never give up. I want to give the next generation of fur babies a proper start in life. They simply can’t do it on their own.

Keep up the great work doctor. You’re an inspiration to many people.
