Comments on #3 Dr. Todd Cooney: Parvo - Better, safer prevention + treatments - Vital Animal® § The Natural Path

Great Podcast! Have passed it on to many!

I have a 10 week old sheepadoodle that received 1 set of DAPP shots, Bordetella. Not going to take back for remaining shots. Should I begin the Nosades now until 9 months old?

Thank you!

Today is October 8th 2025. Is there someplace I can call and speak to someone about how I can reverse or safeguard my 11 week puppy who isn’t even home yet. I’m just devastated on September 29. She received a five in one Pavo, distemper, Edino virus dual influenza combo and coronavirus. I am so scared This little puppy who is not even 3 pounds yet will be doomed a life with issues. It’s just devastating. These are your family members. With gratitude and humility I so appreciate someone reaching out and directing me how to proceed.

Hi Dr. Will,
My puppy is unvaccinated...I chose to forgo the Parvo vaccine at our "holistic" vet, as it didn’t feel like the right fit. In searching for alternatives, I came across your site and was really encouraged by what I found. If I begin your Parvo protocol now (he’s almost 20 weeks old), should I still follow the full six-month dosing schedule, even though we’re starting a bit late?

I know this was taped a few years but I just stumbled across it. And so glad I did! I do have a question, though. At just after 26 minutes, Dr Cooney states that a Purdue vaccine study showed that, re parvo vaccine, one dose triggered autoimmunity in 100%. Dr Falconer added that conventional vets ran this very large study. I've been searching for this study with no luck. Would you be so kind as to share a link to the study? Thank you so much.

I have never bought shots from the farm stores. I've seen the effects of vet administered shots. Those shots are extremely damaging and can cause death in our precious animals. It's so heartbreaking, devastating and horrible.

Does Dr. Cooney differentiate vaccine failures being those given by owner's/breeders? The only vaccine failures that I have seen are those purchased at farm stores and or given by breeders. Therefore, I wonder about proper administration, storage, etc. I have also treated a puppy with Parvo whose owner's were shocked because the puppy had been treated by nosodes. I am curious the efficacy that Dr. Cooney or other vets has seen with this method.

Hello Dr Falconer, I just learned about Nosodes from my holistic vet. I have a 8 week old puppy which I have just ordered the Nosodes Kit.
I have two older dogs in the household that I walk daily, should I stop taking my older dogs for walks until the puppy is on Nosodes for the full 6-9 months?

This episode was amazing! For a very young puppy on your nosode protocol (before their natural immunization is complete starting at 12 weeks), do you think it necessary to still keep them home somewhat, or should they be ok in dog-frequented areas, and with other dogs that could have vaccine shedding? I'm not sure if other vaccines shed besides parvo and distemper, there's so many vaccines nowadays... Any insight so much appreciated!!

Dr. Cooney uses a different concentration and mixes in brandy with a different dosing schedule. Why do you recommend the pellets twice/week of 30C up until 9 month, vs. his liquid - "we dissolve pellets in water, add a small amount of ethanol (brandy) as preservative; store in amber or cobalt blue glass dropper bottles to dispense. - I use the 200c potency mostly; 2-3 drops orally per dose." from your own website...

AND, does Parvo affect older dogs? Or is it just a puppy thing? This is our first puppy, we've always adopted before.

Hello, our 4 month old puppy (Great Dane/English mastiff mix) received Parvo and distemper vaccines at 6 weeks and 9 weeks prior to us getting her. I don’t want to give her anymore vaccines. Can I start the Nosodes protocol now through 9 months of age?

I recently purchased the distemper/parvo nosodes kit from your site and I'm curious on dosing. I'm giving 5 pellets of each, both together at the same time, 2x per week. Is it safe to give them together like that? I raise French Bulldogs and I would like to start using them on all my puppies. I'm currently giving them to an 8 wk old girl that I'm keeping. I look forward to hearing from you

I just found this site And so happy to hear that there is. Natural way to protect my fur kids. I took my small yorkies to their vet last year for their annual cost and rabies shots. On the way home my dogs had a reaction to something in the shots , I was so scared I was about to lose my babies . I called the vet immediately and he said next time he wou!d give them something to help. Them with their shots . Right then I said that's it No More Shots . I make my own flea m powder and been cooking extra lean hamburger for their food. Also white meat. Chicken. I need all the advice I can get. Winny is nine years old between 5-6# ,Ruger is five years old and 10# and Emma is 5 years old and 4-5 # .they are mom and her two siblings

At what age are the nosodes begun and how often? What about those for heartworm and Lyme?
Also why doesn't the parvo nosode work in sick dogs?
Thank you!

So good to hear this!!!! I am on my 3rd generation of naturally raised dogs, including raw fed & nosodes. They are strong, healthy, and active out in the world training and competing. Nice to have science/data to support my decisions????

Dr. Will,
Thanks for all the great information! I just listened to your podcast with Dr. Cooney and now feel I have let my precious Shasta down due to my ignorance. She is 16 months old and has been through the typical routine of puppy vaccinations. Fortunately she is extremely healthy and happy, and I want to do all I can to help her stay that way. After listening to the discussion on nosode therapy, I am still unclear as to what recommendation you or Dr. Cooney might give to someone that has already followed the standard vet vaccination protocols.
Would it be advisable to follow the Parvo/Distemper Dry Nosode protocol to enhance her immunity to those dreaded diseases?
I would greatly appreciate any guidance you are willing to share.
Thanks again,
Glenn
btw - I just ordered Canine Immune Complete to supplement Shasta's raw diet.

Lost a puppy 6 weeks ago to parvo. She was transported from TX to CA with other dogs. One of them got vaccinated at transport pick up. She was fine for 11 days and then she got sick...$5300 later, I took her home to die in my arms. I have all the remedies here now and muscle test when I need to use one, how much, and how often. Thank you for sharing this information.
