I have a new puppy and I bought his parvo vaccine and distemper vaccine separately from allivet and had the vet administer at two-week intervals. I don't vaccinate after that but now I'm flying under the radar for rabies and they haven't called me in so that's the way it's going to remain because once the city gets that one piece of paper, you're pegged. Unfortunately my two year old had his rabies vaccine and before he had to have the second dose a year after the city for the first time ever sent a letter of reminder. The crappy mayor does nothing for the city but decided to stick his big fat nose into this area. We're getting another puppy at the beginning of next year and I'm going to do the same thing for him. Bring in my own vaccines and lay low and play stupid for the rabies.

I am doing the same with my boarding/grooming/training facility. Vaccinations not required, though I will say we have only had one client bring us a dog that had been titered. Many dogs around these parts are either in the allopathic vet's camp or from the local shelters (which we know OVER vaccinate). But my goal is to educate.

Nice, Karen! I sincerely hope more daycares, kennels and groomers get on with this approach! We really need more of you out there to speak the reality you now own.
Thanks for standing up in this way! You inspire me.
