But how do we navigate the known world of vaccine damage against the fear of losing puppies to parvovirus?
Many breeders are still operating under the premise that vaccines are needed to avoid disease. They are not. Some are also still using outdated serial vaccinations starting as early as 6 weeks of age, hoping to catch that sweet spot where maternal protection wanes and vaccines can actually work. What we are doing with these outdated protocols is producing puppies much more likely to die from those diseases, and with confused immune systems that make them susceptible to many other illnesses as they mature. The time has come to cut through all those outdated protocols and trust our God-given innate immune systems to do what they evolved to do. With a little extra support, and no vaccinations, you can raise puppies with outstanding health and the ability to handle challenges with a fully competent and functional immune system. This eBook will show you how.
As breeders, we fear that if we don't vaccinate, our puppies may succumb to disease. Or that our puppy buyers may later experience life threatening diseases such as parvovirus. How do we manage that dilemma while keeping our babies safe? How do we assure our puppy buyers that they can leave our nurseries with strong immune systems capable of handling pathogens?
This eBook was written with simple, easy to understand, and compelling reasons not to vaccinate, and with protocols that can be started before birth and throughout life to keep your puppies safe from disease. I have read all the books, absorbed all the studies, and put this into practice in my own nursery. Many natural rearing breeders who joined the Natural Rearing Breeder Connection also choose not to vaccinate and have generations of exceptionally healthy dogs to prove this works! In my own nursery, we have now had at least five puppies exposed to parvovirus with little more than some minor symptoms: lethargy and being off their food for a bit. This is because they went through the exact protocol described in this eBook.
This groundbreaking eBook gives you a step-by-step guide that bridges the worlds of science and nature so that you can whelp and raise your puppies without fear.
Breeders: Use it to educate your buyers about the importance of natural immunity.
Pet Parents: If you are a prospective pet parent, buy this eBook for your breeder so that he or she can understand why you prefer to bring home an unvaccinated puppy with a strong immune system.
